Abstract:SummaryThe effects of distortion on the longitudinal stability of swept wing aircraft at high speeds (sub-critical Mach numbers) are considered on a quasi-static basis. The method is based on the theory of Gates and Lyon but involves some extension of this theory.The treatment of wing distortion is considered in some detail and the effects of built-in twist and camber and wing weight are included, using the so-called superposition method. The application of the analysis of Lyon and Ripley for investigating fus… Show more
