Description:
Stability derivatives have been computed for twisted wings of different planforms that include variations in both the wing taper and the aspect ratio. Taper ratios of 1.0, 0.50, and 0.25 are considered for each of three aspect ratios: 6, 10, and 16. The specific derivatives for which results are given are the rolling moment and the yawing moment derivatives with respect to rolling velocity, yawing velocity, and angle of sideslip. In addition to the stability derivatives, results are included for determining the theoretical rolling moment due to aileron deflection and a series of influence lines is given by which the loading across the span may be determined for any angle-of-attack distribution that may occur on the wing planforms considered.
