Abstract:
A general method of treatment of stick-fixed static longitudinal stability with propellers is given, distortion and compressibility effects being neglected. Model full-throttle data on some single-engined fighters are analysed for the flaps-up condition to establish a basis of estimation of effect of propeller on stability for this type of design. The general effect of propellers on manceuvre point, more particularly the effect on Hm - Kn, is considered in an appendix.
