The Stability and Control of Slender Delta Aircraft: An evaluation of the different behaviour characteristics of a large supersonic transport aircraft of slender delta form when compared with a conventional aircraft

Abstract

The common property of being able to travel faster than sound does not in general confer on aircraft any other similarities of shape or form. Thus supersonic aircraft have no great body of low speed behaviour in common, consequently in order to limit the discussion the following relates to a particular type of supersonic aircraft — namely large transport aircraft of slender delta form.
