RESEARCH MEMORANDUM TOW-SPEED ROLL ETFEX2IVENESS OF A DDFIBENTlXILY DEFlXCTED HORIZONTALTAIL SURFACE ON A 42' SWEPT-WING MODEL By Peter C. Boisseau SUMMARY h i m e s t i g s t i o n has been made i n t h e Langley f r e e - f l i g h t tunnel t o determine the r o l l effectiveness of a d i f f e r e n t i a l l y deflected horizontal w a s t e s t e d through an angle- t a i l on a 4 2 O swept-wing model.

of a t t a c k t h e r o l l i n g moments produced by the t a i l ( a t a mean t a i l inci- dence of 0') were l e s s than half those produced by t h e ailerons, but near the stall the moments produced by the two controls were almost equal.

The r o l l i n g moments f o r t h e three t a i l positions were generally l e s s f o r - l 5 O incidence than those f o r a t a i l incidence of Oo over t h e angle-of- attack range. Evaluated on t h e basis of longitudinal trim conditions, d i f f e r e n t i a l deflection of the horizontal t a i l produced large favorable yawing moments when t h e t a i l w a s i n the low position and large adverse yawing moments when t h e t a i l was i n a high position but produced only

INTRODUCTION I n t e r e s t has recently been shown i n t h e use of all-movable horizontal The r e s u l t s of previous tails deflected d i f f e r e n t i a l l y f o r r o l l control.

investigations ( r e f s . 1 t o 7) show t h a t the r o l l effectiveness of t h e horizontal t a i l i s less than t h a t for ailerons at low angles of a t t a c k but t h a t the r o l l effectiveness of the horizontal t a i l i s maintained up t o high angles of attack and a t transonic speeds where ailerons tend t o .

l o s e some of t h e i r effectiveness. These r e s u l t s , therefore, appear t o indicate some promise f o r controls of t h i s type.

c I n order t o provide additional information on t a i l roll controls, force t e s t s have been conducted i n t h e Langley f r e e - f l i g h t tunnel on a 4 2 ' swept-wing model with t h e all-movable horizontal t a i l deflected d i f f e r e n t i a l l y . Tests were made of t h e model i n t h e clean configuration with the horizontal t a i l i n three v e r t i c a l positions: low, middle (mid- way of the exposed height of t h e v e r t i c a l t a i l ) and high (on top of the v e r t i c a l t a i l ) .

Tests were made i n the landing configuration with t h e low t a i l position.

R r i g h t w S s t a b i l i t y axis APPARATUS AJ!D MODEL The t e s t s were conducted i n the Langley f r e e - f l i g h t tunnel with a sting-type support system and an i n t e r n a l l y mounted strain-gage balance.

A three-view drawing of the model i s shown i n figure 2 and t h e dimen- s i o n a l characteristics a r e given i n t a b l e I. With the model i n t h e clean configuration the wing incidence w a s -lo and t h e leading- and t r a i l i n g - edge flaps were at Oo. For the landing configuration t h e wing incidence * was 9O, t h e inboard and outboard leading-edge f l a p s were down Z?>O and TO0, respectively, and the trailing-edge f l a p s were down 20'. When t h e horizontal t a i l w a s i n the middle or high position, the center section, v which represented the unexposed section of t h e horizontal t a i l i n t h e low position, w a s used f o r longitudinal t r i m but not f o r roll control.

That i s , only the o r i g i n a l exposed area w a s deflected d i f f e r e n t i a l l y .

TESTS Force t e s t s were made t o determine t h e r o l l i n g effectiveness of the horizontal t a i l with t h e v e r t i c a l t a i l off and on. The horizontal t a i l i n the low position w a s deflected d i f f e r e n t i a l l y f l O o and kl5O from t a i l incidences of 0 ' and -15' f o r t h e clean and landing configurations. The t a i l i n the middle and high positions w a s deflected kl5O from t a i l i n c i - dences of 0 ' and -15' f o r the clean configuration only. Tests were made t o determine t h e e f f e c t of d i f f e r e n t i a l deflection of t h e low horizontal t a i l on the longitudinal c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s of t h e model f o r both t h e clean and landing conditions. The longitudinal c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s of t h e model with t h e t a i l i n t h e middle and high p o s i t i o n were determined i n t h e clean condition only.

All t e s t s were run at a dynamic pressure of 4.37 pounds per square foot, which corresponds t o an airspeed of about 61 f e e t per second at standard sea-level conditions and t o a t e s t Reynolds number of 0.51 X 10 6 based on the mean aerodynamic chord of 1.309 f e e t .

A RESWS AND DISCUSSION Longitudinal Character i s t i c s S t a t i c iongiiuidizzl & e r e ? t e r i s t i c s of the model with the horizontal t a i l i n the low position are presented i n figure 3 f o r t n e midel ir; t k e tail incidence and clean and landing configurations. The e f f e c t s of d i f f e r e n t i a l deflection of the horizontal t a i l f o r t h e l o w , middle, and high positions are shown i n figure 4 f o r the model i n t h e clean condition.

The greater effectiveness of t h e middle and high horizontal tails is a t t r i b u t e d principally t o t h e f a c t t h a t i n these cases the e n t i r e t a i l (not j u s t t h e exposed area) w a s deflected f o r control. The effectiveness of t h e t a i l i n t h e high position is s l i g h t l y greater than t h a t of t h e t a i l i n the middle position appasently because of t h e greater t a i l length f o r t h e t a i l i n the high position. I n general, (See t a b l e I and f i g . 2.)

t a i l had l i t t l e e f f e c t upon the d i f f e r e n t i a l tieflection of t h e horizontal longitudinal c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s of the mdel.

U Lateral Characteristics Presented i n figures 5 and 6 are t h e incremental values of Cz, Cn, and C y produced by deflecting the low horizontal t a i l d i f f e r e n t i a l l y 2 1 0 ' and kl5O f o r mean t a i l incidences of 0 ' and - 1 5 ' f o r the model i n t h e clean and landing configurations with the v e r t i c a l t a i l off and on.

For the model i n t h e clean configuration ( f i g . 5 ) , the roll effectiveness is much l e s s at low angles of attack f o r an incidence of -15' than it i s f o r Oo because one of the surfaces is s t a l l e d . A t high angles of attack, roll effectiveness i s greater with t h e - l 5 O incidence, however, the because t h i s incidence then tends t o keep the t a i l u n s t a l l e d . For t h e model i n the landing configuration ( f i g . 6 ) 7 t h e overall v a r i a t i o n of r o l l effectiveness with angle of attack w a s generally similar but the values were somewhat smaller than t h a t f o r the model i n t h e clean of n C 2 configuration. This decreased effectiveness i n t h e landing configuration i s probably caused by stalling on one of the surfaces r e s u l t i n g from t h e increased downwash at a given angle of a t t a c k produced by f l a p deflec- t i o n and wing incidence. In general, t h e data of figures 3 and 6 show smaller r o l l i n g moments w i t h v e r t i c a l t a i l on than with v e r t i c a l t a i l off apparently because the loads induced on t h e v e r t i c a l t a i l by t h e d i f f e r e n t i a l l y deflected low horizontal t a i l produce adverse r o l l i n g moments.

The d a t a show t h a t d i f f e r e n t i a l deflection of the horizontal t a i l had l i t t l e e f f e c t on the yawing moments with the v e r t i c a l t a i l off but t h e deflection produced very l m g e yawing moments w i t h the t a i l on. The l a r g e yawing moments, which occurred f o r both t a i l incidences, were pro- duced by t h e asymmetrical loads induced on the v e r t i c a l t a i l by the horizontal t a i l . These large yawing moments resulted i n large values of the parameter un which would probably be considered undesirable from c a f lying-qualities standpoint.

The data f o r t h e horizontal t a i l i n t h e middle and high positions f o r the model i n the clean configuration are shown i n figures 7 and 8, respectively. I n order t o show t h e effect of t a i l position, t h e v e r t i c a l - t a i l - o n data from figures 7 and 8 and s i m i l a r data from figure 3 f o r t h e low-tail position are compared i n figure 9. The data of figure 9(a) are d i r e c t l y comparable at zero angle of attack where t h e model w a s approx- imately i n trim f o r a l l three t a i l positions.

The data of figure 9(b) f o r - l 5 O t a i l incidence are not d i r e c t l y comparable at any given angle of attack because t h e t r i m angle of attack i s d i f f e r e n t for each t a i l position. (See f i g . 4.) Although not d i r e c t l y comparable, t h e data of figure 9(b) should give some indication of t h e e f f e c t of t a i l position .

i n t h e high angle-of-attack range.

The data of figure 9(a) show that at Oo t a i l incidence the incre- V mental r o l l i n g moments f o r t h e t a i l i n the l o w and middle positions were generally s i m i l a r and somewhat less than t h e incremental r o l l i n g moments f o r t h e t a i l i n the high position.

The r o l l i n g moments were greater f o r t h e t a i l i n the high position than for t h e middle and low t a i l positions apparently because of the difference i n the loads induced on the v e r t i c a l tail, and additionally, at the higher angles of attack from t h e difference i n downwash on the horizontal t a i l . The yawing moments were favorable f o r t h e low t a i l position, almost zero f o r t h e middle t a i l position, and adverse for the high t a i l position. The changes i n yawing moment with variation i n height of the horizontal t a i l were caused by changes i n both the magnitude and direction of t h e induced loads on t h e v e r t i c a l t a i l .

A comparison of the data of figures 9(a) and 9 ( b ) shows t h a t t h e r o l l i n g moments f o r t h e three t a i l positions were generally l e s s f o r -15O incidence than those f o r a t a i l incidence of Oo over the angle-of- attack range, except f o r t h e low t a i l position at high angles of attack.

I n t h e high angle-of-attack range, the r o l l i n g moments with t h e - 1 5 ' incidence were greater f o r the low t a i l position than f o r the middle and high t a i l positions probably because of t h e differences i n downwash at the t a i l .

The reasons f o r t h e large positive increase i n yawing moment f o r the middle and high t a i l positions, at low angles of attack, when t h e Only a incidence is changed from 00 t o - l 5 O are not f u l l y understood.

portion of these changes i n yawing moment can be explained by a consid- e r a t i o n of the d i f f e r e n t i a l t a i l drag. O n t h e b a s i s of t h e present data, - no explanation can be given f o r t h e changes i n t h e yawing moment from a large negative value t o a large positive value when t h e incidence of t h e high horizontal t a i l i s changed from 0 ' t o -15'. Actually, t h e yawing- moment data of figure 9 ( b ) are of p r a c t i c a l significance only i n t h e high .

I angle-of-attack range where t h e model is i n trim longitudinally with the I t a i l incidence of - 1 5 ' . For these trim conditions, changes i n t a i l posi- t i o n cause changes i n yawing moment t h a t are i n t h e same direction as, but smaller than, those shown by the data of f i g u r e 9(a) f o r Oo incidence.

Interpolations based on t h e data of figures 4 and 9 indicate, f o r trimmed conditions at iii%eE&i&e amgles of attack, t h e same general v a r i a t i o n of yawing moment with t a i l position would be obtained.

figure 10 is shown a c o q a r i s o n of the incremental r o l l i n g and I n yawing moments produced by the ailerons and the low horizontal t a i l an angle of attack of 50°. A t low angles of attack t h e up t o (it = 0 ) ailerons are more than t w i c e as effective as t h e horizontal t a i l as a r o l l control. As t h e angle of attack increases, the r o l l i n g moments of t h e a i l e r o n drop off rapidly u n t i l at an angle of a t t a c k of about 1 8 ' they become approximately equal t o the moments produced by the horizontal . .

t a i l . Above an angle of attack of 3 2 ' t h e r o l l i n g moments produced by I the horizontal t a i l drop off t o zero whereas t h e ailerons maintain some I I effectiveness through an angle of attack of 50'. The yawing moments pro- u duced by t h e ailerons were favorable up t o an angle of attack of I s 0 and then become r a t h e r small and e r r a t i c over the remaining angle-of-attack range. The yawing mments produced by t h e horizontal t a i l were favorable up t o an angle of a t t a c k of about 28' and became highly adverse at very high angles of attack. It should be pointed out that, although the hori- zontal t a i l and t h e ailerons produced about t h e same yawing moments at

-

i s much an angle of a t t a c k of Oo, the important control parameter E 2 g r e a t e r f o r the t a i l control. As pointed out previously, t h i s large value of !%I f o r the low horizontal t a i l would probably lead t o unde- N-L s i r a b l e f l y i n g q u a l i t i e s .

Results of an investigation made t o determine the r o l l i n g effective- ness of an all-movable horizontal t a i l when deflected d i f f e r e n t i a l l y indi- cate t h e following conclusions: 1. D i f f e r e n t i a l deflection of t h e horizontal t a i l had l i t t l e e f f e c t on t h e longitudinal characteristics of the model.

2. A t low angles of attack the r o l l i n g moments produced by t h e low t a i l ( a t a mean t a i l incidence of O o ) were l e s s than half those produced by t h e ailerons but near the stall t h e moments produced by the two controls were almost equal.

of Oo over t h e angle-of-attack range.

4 . Evaluated on t h e b a s i s of longitudinal t r i m conditions, d i f f e r - e n t i a l deflection of the horizontal t a i l produced large favorable yawing moments when the t a i l w a s i n t h e low position and large adverse yawing moments when the t a i l w a s i n t h e high position but produced only small yawing moments for t h e middle t a i l position.
