Measurements of the Pressure Distribution on the Horizontal Tail Surface of a Typical Propeller-Driven Pursuit Airplane in Flight. 2 - The Effect of Angle of Sideslip and Propeller Operation
Abstract
Measurements were made at 0.50 Mach to determine the effects of sideslip angle and propeller operation on the tail-load distribution. It is shown that asymmetric tail loading results from a large decrease in load on the blanketed tail and a small increase of load on the leading tail. The asymmetric loads and torsional moments at low speeds and zero angle of sideslip are unimportant even during power-on conditions.
