| Summary: | Results of an investigation made in the Langley 15-foot free-spinning tunnel of the effects of variation of the moment of inertia of a research model representative of a present-day trainer or a four-place cabin monoplane are presented. Eight different wing arrangements and four different tail arrangements, including a twin tail, were tested. The moments of inertia about the three airplane axes were increased or decreased by a constant percentage and the results were compared. These results were also compared with results previously presented for variation of the airplane relative density |
