The effect of lateral controls in producing motion of an airplane as computed from wind-tunnel data

NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) · 1937 · 6 pictures

This NACA technical report from 1937, issued by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics for aircraft engineers and researchers, computes airplane lateral motion from wind-tunnel measurements. Its charts plot sideslip and rolling moment coefficients against angle, time-response curves for rolling and yawing motion under control moments, and a correction factor against aspect ratio for several taper ratios, giving designers graph-paper line charts with clean curves and labelled axes to borrow for technical diagram layouts.
