Summary: An investigation of the power-off longitudinal stability characteristics of a tailless all-wing airplane model with various wing modifications has been made in the Langley free-flight tunnel. Force and tuft tests were made on the model in the original condition, with the wing tips rotated for washout, with rectangular and swept-forward tips, and with various slat arrangements. Flight tests were made with the original wing and with the original wing equipped with the most promising modifications. The results indicated that changes in tip plan form or rotation of the wing tips did not appreciably reduce the instability at high lift coefficients. Addition of wing slats, however, improved the longitudinal stability at the stall when the slat extended far enough inboard to cover the area that tended to stall first.

An investigation was made at high subsonic speeds of a complete model having a highly tapered wing and several tail configurations. The basic aspect-ratio-4.00 wing had a zero taper and an unswept 0.80 chord line. Several aspect-ratio modifications to the basic wing were made by clipping off portions of the wing tips. The complete model was tested with a chord-plane tail, a T-tail, and a biplane tail (combined T-tail and chord-plane tail). The model was tested in the Langley high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel at Mach numbers from 0.60 to 0.92. The data show that, when reduced to the same static margin, all the tail configurations tested on the model provided fairly good stability characteristics, the biplane tail giving the best overall characteristics as regards pitching-moment linearity. Changes in static margin at zero lift coefficient with Mach number were small for the model with these tails over the Mach number range investigated.

An investigation was conducted to determine the effects of wing-tip droop on the longitudinal stability characteristics of a 53 and a 63 degree sweptback wing-body combination. Both models were tested with flat and abruptly drooped wing tips. The 63 degree wing was also tested with a curved drooped tip. In addition, the combined effects of wing fences and extended leading-edge flaps were investigated. The results showed that abrupt droop of the outer 40 percent of the basic 53 degree wing improved the stability characteristics of the model. For the 63 degree swept wing, curved droop caused slight beneficial effects on the stability, whereas abrupt droop caused adverse effects. In general, the most favorable stability characteristics were obtained for either flat or abruptly drooped wings with fences and extended leading-edge flaps.

The drag due to lift increases with increasing sweep through the Mach number range. Some increase in bag due to lift is evident decrease in taper ratio for wings having 300of sweep through most of the speed range.
