Static Stability of Vehicles Which Use the Lifting Force of Airfoils,

Abstract

In designing rapid transportation facilities which use the lifting force of airfoils near a solid or liquid screen, one important problem is that of providing stable motion of sufficient duration. In the present article we discuss the problem of static stability in vehicles which have two airfoils - a leading and a trailing (tandem system) - separated by a certain distance, determined by the length of the cabin body.
