- Summary:
- An investigation of the air flow at the tail of a monoplane model was conducted in the NACA 7- by 10-foot wind tunnel to determine the cause of the change in vertical-tail effectiveness with a change in the vertical position of the wing on the fuselage and with flap deflection.
- It was found that the yawed wing-fuselage combination produced a side flow which increased the tail effectiveness by increasing the rate of change of vertical-tail angle of attack with a change in the angle of yaw when the wing was in the low position and which tended to decrease the tail effectiveness by decreasing this rate of change when the wing was in the high position. Flap deflection produced a side flow that increased the rate of change of the vertical-tail angle of attack with a change in angle of yaw regardless of wing position. The vertical tail of the low-wing combination gave indications of stall at a smaller angle of yaw than the vertical tail of the high-wing combination.
