The bc model hd a wing with an spect ratio of 3, a taper raio of 0.143, and an unswept 80-percent chord line. The Mach nuber for most of the tes extended from 0.60 to 0.94 1nd the angleof-attak range was from -2 degrees to approxitely 4 degrees at the lowet test Mach number. A preliinary dy of a systematc seies of auxary ails indiated that the pitch-up tendency at high ift encountered on the ic model could be gretly levted by use of a relatively sall, very low-spet-raio auxliry hoizontl tail. This al ws loted rialy with respet to the fuselage center line with 30 degrees negative dihedral and therefore provided a signifiant favorable increment to direcional stbility of the model throughout mot of the tet angle-of-attack range.
