Summary: The results of tests of a circular fuselage with various combinations of tail lengths and vertical tail surfaces with and without the horizontal tail surface in the 6- by 6-foot test section of the NACA stability tunnel are reported in the form of diagrams of variation of coefficients of lateral force and yawing moment with angle of yaw and angle of attack. The results of these tests indicated that the change in the unstable yawing moment of the fuselage alone due to increased tail length did not appreciably affect the yawing moment of a fuselage and vertical-tail combination. The addition of a horizontal tail increased the efficiency of the vertical tail in normal-flight attitudes and in the region of negative angles of attack. Existing methods of computing tail effectiveness gave results within ±7 percent of the measured values for the cases computed.

Power-off tests were made in the 6- by 6-fot test section of the Langley stability tunnel to determine the variation of the static lateral stability characteristics with vertical-tail area, fuselage length, and wing dihedral. Two NACA 23012 rectangular wings with rounded tips in combination with three circular fuselages of different midwing monoplanes with and without a horizontal tail and with variations in vertical-tail area. The results are presented as curves showing the variation of the static-lateral-stability slopes with angle of attack, and the rolling-moment, yawing-moment, and lateral-force coefficients with angle of yaw.

The effects of large variations of lateral area on the lateral stability and control characteristics of a free-flying model when ailerons are used as the principal control have been determined by flight tests in the Langley free-flight tunnel. The effects of the lateral-force parameter (rate of change of lateral-force coefficient with angle of sideslip) were investigated for a wide range of values of the directional-stability parameter (rate of change of yawing-moment coefficient with angle of sideslip) and the rotary-damping-in-yaw parameter (rate of change of yawing-moment coefficient with yawing angular velocity).

An investigation has been conducted in the Langley 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel to determine the effects of wing and horizontal-tail vertical location on the aerodynamic characteristics in sideslip at various angles of attack for a supersonic airplane configuration at Mach numbers of 1.41 and 2.01. The basic model was equipped with a wing and horizontal tail, each having 45 degree sweep and an aspect ratio of 4. The wing had a taper ratio of 0.2 and NACA 65A004 sections; the horizontal tail had a taper ratio of 0.4 and NACA 65A006 sections.
