Download or read book A Study of the Effects of Radii of Gyration and Altitude on Aileron Effectiveness at High Speed written by Leo F. Fehlner and published by . This book was released on 1943 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Because the time to bank combat aircraft has become increasingly important and because information on the variation in the time to bank with altitude and with weight distribution along the wings is not available, the present theoretical investigation was made to determine the magnitude of these effects. The variation in the necessary aileron control and in the time required to bank to 45° and 90° with altitude and radii of gyration for a typical fighter or a pursuit airplane have been computed and are presented herein.
