- LONGITUDINAL FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BELL X-5 RESEARCH AIRPLANE AT 59-DEGREE SWEEPBACK WITH MODIFIED WING ROOTS , Research Memorandum
Authors: James A. Martin
Report Number: NACA-RM-L53E28
Performing Organization: NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, CA
Abstract: In an attempt to improve the longitudinal stability characteristics of the Bell X-5 research airplane at 59-degrees sweepback the wing-root leading edge was modified, the original 52.5-degrees sweptback leading-edge fillets being replaced by rounded leading-edge fillets. The two fillet configurations are compared in this paper on the basis of results obtained from maneuvers into the region of reduced stability at pressure altitudes from 28,000 to 40,000 feet and in the Mach number range from that for stall approach in the clean condition to a Mach number of 0.97.
