Although the +mIysis wouldaugment rather than replace the measured data as usuallypresented, the greater portion of the wind-tunnel report wouldconsist of 8 discussion of the actuzd flying qudit.ies of theairplane. The inclusion of

7、r, test programs d+signed for this purpose cou.Id be planned more efficiently withregard to the amount of required testing. Many programs inthe past have been Iaid out arbitrarily without a completeunderstanding of the manner in which the resulting datashould be appIied. This lack of understand has

8、at timesresulted in insufEcient data concerning trim conditions andconsiderable unnecessary data for untrimmed ocnditions.The purpose of this paper is to outline a suggested formof presentation of the results of a stability and control inves-tigation in terms of flying qmditiee as de.6ned .refereme

14、of course, that the requirements for satis-factory flying qualiti= may undergo constant revision withtime. By methods simiIar to those indicated in the presentpaper, however, wind-tunnel tests may be used for the in-vestigation of any revisions of the present requirementsor for the investigation of
