This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spin investigation has been conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel on a 1/24-scale model of the North American XP-86 airplane. The effects of control settings and movements upon the erect and inverted spin and recovery characteristics of the model were determined for the design gross weight loading. The long-range loading was also investigated and the effects of extending slats and dive flaps were determined. In addition, the investigation included the determination of the size of spin-recovery parachute required for emergency recovery from demonstration spins, the rudder force required to move the rudder for recovery, and the best method for the pilot to escape if it should become necessary to do so during a spin. The results of the investigation indicated that the XP-86 airplane will probably recover satisfactorily from erect and inverted spins for all possible loadings. It was found that fully extending both slats would be beneficial but that extending the dive brakes would cause unsatisfactory recoveries. It was determined that a 10.0-foot-diameter tail parachute with a drag coefficient of 0.7 and with a towline 30.0 feet long attached below the jet exit or a 6.0-foot-diameter wingtip parachute opened on the outer wing tip with a towline 6.0 feet long would insure recoveries from any spins obtainable. The rudder-pedal force necessary to move the rudder for satisfactory recovery was found to be within the physical capabilities of the pilot.

This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation of the spin and recovery characteristics of a 1/24-scale model of the McDonnell XP-88 airplane has been conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel. The effects of control settings and movements on the erect and inverted spin and recovery characteristics of the model in the normal loading were determined. Tests of the model in the long-range loading also were made. The investigation included tail-modification, spin-recovery parachute, pilot-escape, and rudder-pedal-force tests. Recoveries were generally satisfactory for spins in the normal loading provided the ailerons were not held against the spin. Satisfactory recoveries were obtained regardless of the aileron setting when the leading-edge flaps were deflected and normal recovery technique was used or when the horizontal tail was raised 70 inches, full scale. Recoveries were rapid from all inverted spins obtained. In the long-range loading with tanks on, it may be necessary to jettison the tanks in order to obtain recovery. A 12.0-foot spin-recovery parachute at the tail or a 4.0-foot parachute opened on the outer wing tip (drag coefficient of 0.66) was found to be effective for recoveries from demonstration spins. Test results showed that in an emergency the pilot should attempt to escape from the outboard side of the spinning airplane. The rudder-pedal forces in a spin were indicated to be within the capabilities of the pilot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of tests was made in the NACA 15-Foot free-spinning tunnel to study the spin characteristics of a 1/24-scale model of a hypothetical canard airplane, which was designed to be the same size and to have the same general aerodynamic characteristics as a Boeing B-247 airplane. The model had a single fin and rudder at the rear of the fuselage.

Book excerpt: An investigation of the spin and recovery characteristics of a 1/24-scale model of the Grumman AF-2S, -2W airplane was conducted in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel. The effects of controls on the erect and inverted spin and recovery characteristics for a range of possible loadings of the.airplane were determined. The effect of a revised-tail installation (small dual fins added to the stabilizer of the original tail and the vertical-tail height of the original tail increased) and the effect of various ventral-fin and antispin-fillet installations were determined. The investigation also included spin-recovery parachute tests.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 1/57.33-scale model of the Northrop XB-35 airplane has been tested in the NACA free-spinning tunnel in order to determine the spin characteristics and the tumbling tendencies of the airplane. The XB-35 airplane is a large four-engine bomber of the flying-wing type. It has elevon control surfaces which are used as ailerons or elevators. The airplane is equipped with conventional split flaps whose pitching moments are trimmed out by pitch flaps at the wing tips. The rear portions of the pitch flaps are split and can be deflected as rudders.

Book excerpt: Longitudinal-trim tests of a 0.059-scale model of the XP-55 airplane have been performed in the Langley 15-foot free-spinning tunnel. Various revisions in control and airplane configuration were tested with the model mounted on a longitudinal-trim rig at large positive and negative angles of attack. The tests showed that trim at either erect or inverted flat attitudes could be prevented by installing large wing tips with an extension of each of the wing-tip trimmers in conjunction with a large elevator with deflections of plus or minus 60 degrees on the model when the stick was free longitudinally.
