12 (a)

A wing body model is tested in a subsonic wind tunnel.


L=0 = -1.50, at = 50, CL is 0.52. At = 10 and 7.880 CMcg are -0.01 and 0.05
respectively. The c.g location is 0.35c. iw = 0 and tail volume ratio is 0.34. The
tail setting is 2.70 and the tail lift curve slope is 0.1 per degree. 0 = 0 and
/ = 0.35. At = 80, calculated CMcg for the aircraft.
