Freeman, Jr.Langley Research CenterSUMMARYAn investigation has been conducted in the Langley full-scale tunnel to determine thestatic longitudinal and lateral stability and control characteristics of a full-scale lighttwin-engine airplane

6、. Hinge moments were also measured for all control and flap sur-faces during the investigation. The investigation was made over an angle-of-attack rangeof -4 to 18 at various angles of sideslip between +8 for various power and flap settings.The thrust coefficients were 0, 0.20, and 0.44, which corre

8、stall, but stick-fixed instability could be encountered at some liftcoefficients with rearward center-of-gravity location, particularly at a thrust coefficientof 0.44 and flaps deflected 27 o. The airplane has stick-free stability through the stall,however, for all power, flap, and center-of-gravity

9、 conditions investigated. At angles ofattack below the stall, the airplane is directionally stable, has positive effective dihedral,and the variation of the lateral coefficients is fairly linear. At angles of attack above thestall, the airplane is directionally stable, and has positive effective dih

27、ANEThe airplane tested was a light twin-engine low-wing monoplane. Figure 2 gives theprincipal dimensions and figure 3 shows the airplane mounted in the tunnel test section.The airplane had a wing span of 35.98 feet (10.97 m), a wing area of 178 feet2 (16.50 m2),an aspect ratio of 7.3, and a mean ae

28、rodynamic chord of 5 feet (1.53 m) based on projec-tion of the outboard leading edge of the wing through the fuselage. The wing airfoil sectionwas a modified NACA 642A215 airfoil with the trailing-edge cusp faired out. The wingleading edge was modified as shown in figure 2(b) for some tests. The win

29、g had 5 ofdihedral and no twist and was at 2 positive incidence with respect to the fuselage refer-ence line. The thrust axes were parallel to the reference line. The airplane had thestandard three-control system. The horizontal tail was of the all-movable type with acontrol deflection range of 4 to

30、 -14 . The tail had a trailing-edge tab which moved inthe same direction as the tail with a deflection ratio (tab deflection to tail deflection) of1.5. The control deflection range on each aileron was from 14 to -18 . The ruddercontrol deflection range was limited to +20 because of restrictions impo

31、sed by remotelycontrolled actuators that were installed for these tests. The airplane normally wouldhave +27 of rudder deflection.TESTSThe tests were made to determine the static longitudinal and lateral stability andcontrol characteristics of the airplane over a wide range of flight conditions. Hin

32、gemoments were also measured for all control and flap surfaces during the investigation.The airplane was tested over an angle-of-attack range of -4 to 18 , over a sideslip rangeof +8 for the clean condition (Sf = 0; gear up), and for flap deflections of 15 and 27 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo repr

A range of tail incidenceanglesfrom 4 to -14 was investigated atzero sideslip, andthe aileron andrudder effectiveness was measuredover the sidesliprange. Althoughthe airplane has engineswith 160-rated horsepower, power

34、 conditions ofup to 200horsepower were simulatedwith thrust coefficients of 0, 0.20, and 0.44repre-sentingflight conditions of low power or high speed,a climb at about 90-percent power,anda climb at full power as in take-off or wave-off conditions, respectively. The climbandtake-off thrust coefficie

35、nts with the 160-horsepowerenginesare 0.14 and0.35, respec-tively. Severaltests were madewith asymmetric power to simulate anengine-out con-dition for either enginewith the inoperative enginein a windmilling condition andafeathered-propeller condition. The running enginehadfull power (Tc = 0.44) for

36、 theasymmetric power test. The propeller blade angle and consequently the advance ratiofor each thrust coefficient were set at fixed values which were representative of thosefor flight conditions at which the particular value of thrust coefficient could be achieved.The values of V/nD were 0.78, 0.64

37、, and 0.44 for values of T_ of 0, 0.20, and 0.44,respectively.PRESENTATION OF DATAThe data from these tests have been corrected for airstream misalinement, buoyancyeffects, and mounting strut tares.
