Description

Factors affecting directional stability are reviewed in relation to the C-105 configuration. Flow visualization and force tests were carried out at M=1.57 on standard C-105 configuration and on 5 modifications involving ventral fins, wing fins, enlarged vertical tail and wing fences. The results of tests indicated in general favourable effects of four modifications on directional stability. Comparison with NACA data indicates satisfactory agreement.
