Airborne Personnel Platform

Abstract

During the month of June, tether flight tests of vertical center-of-gravity location were completed resulting in an appreciable reduction in the amplitude of oscillation and increase in the period of such oscillation. Tests were completed which demonstrated that decoupling of rolling and pitching moment was easily accomplished by making the product of inertia about the vertical axis equal zero. A gyro-bar actuated duct outlet vane control system was completely designed and partially fabricated.
