Flight Tests of a Double-hinged Horizontal Tail Surface with Reference to Longitudinal-stability and -control Characteristics

Résumé du livre

A double-hinged horizontal tail was tested in flight on a small low-speed airplane to determine the longitudinal-stability and -control characteristics. The center portion of the horizontal surface served as an adjustable trimmer and the rear portion as an elevator. Test data were obtained for various airplane flight conditions, both with and without an elevator seal installed.
