Rotary Balance Data for a Typical Single-Engine General Aviation Design for an Angle-of-Attack Range of 8Deg to 90Deg. 2:Influence of Horizontal Tail Location for Model D.

摘要

The influence of horizontal tail location on the rotational flow aerodynamics is discussed for a 1/6-scale general aviation airplane model. The model was tested using various horizontal tail positions, with both a high and a low-wing location and for each of two body lengths. Data were measured, using a rotary balance, over an angle-of-attack range of 8 to 90 deg, and for clockwise and counter-clockwise rotations covering an Omega b/2V range of 0 to 0.9.
