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).

The second part of a series of tests made in Langley tank no. 2 to determine the effect of varying design parameters of planing-tail hulls is presented. Results are given to show the effects on resistance characteristics of varying angle of afterbody keel, depth of step, and length of afterbody chine. The effect of varying the gross load is shown for one configuration. The resistance characteristics of planing-tail hulls are compared withthose of a conventional flying-boat hull. The forces on the forebody and afterbody of one configuration are compared with the forces on a conventional hull.
