F-14 Rotary Balance Tests for an Angle-of-Attack Range of 0 deg to 90 deg

Abstract

A 1/12-scale model fo the F-14 was tested on the rotary balance located in the Langley Spin Tunnel. Data were obtained for the basic airplane in the maneuver configuration with various control settings at three wing sweeps. The data were supplied to the Naval Air Development Center on magnetic tape. This report presents a description of these tests and the information supplied on the data tape, as well as a list of spin modes predicted for the F-14 utilizing the rotary balance data.
