Analysis of the Vertical-Tail Loads Measured During a Flight Investigation at Transonic Speeds of the Douglas X-3 Research Airplane
Abstract
Results are presented of an analysis of the strain-gage measurements of vertical-tail loads experienced in rudder pulses, gradually increasing sideslips, and rudder-fixed aileron rolls at transonic speeds with the Douglas X-3 research airplane. A Mach number range from approximately 0.7 to 1.2 at an altitude of about 30,000 feet was covered during the investigation.
