3、ANE MODEL WITH AN ASPECT RATIO 4 TRIANGUIAR WING AND AN ALL-MOVABLE HORIZONTAL TAIL - HIGH-LIFT DEVICESAND LATERALCONIROLS By Ralph W. Franks Tests have been made of a triangular-wing-airplane model equfpped with high-lift devices and lateral and directional controls. The model consisted of an aspec
4、t ratio 4 triangular wing in combination with a fuselage of fineness ratio 12.5; a thin, triangular, vertical tail with a constant-chord rudder; and a thin, unswept, all-movable horizontal tail. The wing had an N namely, the inboard flaps, tne outboard flaps, and.the all-movable horizontaltail. The
5、high-lift devices were the outboard flaps and the inboard flaps. Tests were made with the wing-fuselage-vertical-tail configuration in addftion to the tests of the complete model. The Reynolds number, based on the wing mean aerodynamic chord, was approximately 10.9 tillion and the Mach number was ap

7、sof re.ference I indicated that the horizontal tail having the greater aspect ratio.(4.4) located in the extended wing-chord plane gave the best stability and the lowest drag; therefore, this tail configuration was used inthe present investigation.

Three lateral controls were tested; namely, the inboard flaps/the outboard flaps, and the all-movable horizontal tail. In addition, a rudder of co
