Flight Tests of First Ten STV-2's with Program Roll Systems

Abstract

The purposes of these flight tests of roll systems were as follows: To provide a sustained velocity region of flight; and in this region to determine the rate of roll, the rate of change of rolling velocity resulting from differentially deflecting surfaces (1) at fixed angles and (2) with programmed movement, and to determine the damping in roll and the effectiveness of the roll control surface.
