National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

The Effectiveness of Canards for Roll Control.

ADA037077

Publication Date	1976
Personal Author	Burt, J. R.
Page Count	70
Abstract	A study of the roll control effectiveness of small, nose mounted canards is presented. Mach number was varied from 0.6 to 4.5, canard differential deflection from -3 deg to 5 deg, and angle of attack from -3 deg to 6 deg. The canards were small with a clipped delta planform and were tested in two longitudinal nose positions in combination with both a planar tail and a ring tail. It is shown that the effectiveness of small, nose mounted canards as roll control devices depends upon tail shape. (Author)
