Date: June 1, 1964 Creator: Lee, Henry A. Description: An
investigation has been made in the Langley spin tunnel to
determine the erect and inverted spin and recovery
characteristics of a 1/30-scale dynamic model of the North
American A-5A airplane. Tests were made for the basic flight
design loading with the center of gravity at 30-percent mean
aerodynamic chord and also for a forward position and a rearward
position with the center of gravity at 26-percent and 40-percent
mean aerodynamic chord, respectively. Tests were also made to
determine the effect of full external wing tanks on both wings,
and of an asymmetrical condition when only one full tank is
carried. Contributing Partner: UNT Libraries Government
