Flight measurements of the elevator and aileron hinge-moment derivatives of the Fairey Delta 2 aircraft up to a Mach number of 1.6 and comparisons with wind-tunnel results

R. Rose; O. P. Nicholas; Glynis Vorley (1965)

Aileron and elevator hinge-moment derivatives have been extracted from flight tests on the Fairey Delta 2 in which the dynamic aircraft response, to control pulses was recorded. As this method is not widely used, and has ...
Measurement of aerodynamic heating on the nose of a delta aircraft at speeds up to M = 1.65

J. E. Nethaway; O. P. Nicholas (1960)

This Report presents skin-temperature measurements recorded during a climb and level-flight acceleration at 40,000 feet, at speeds up to M = 1.65. The temperatures were measured at 27 points on the skin of the aircraft ...
