A Tailless Research Aircraft: An Account of the Structural Design, Manufacture and Flight Trials of the Tailless Glider of the National Research Council of Canada

Abstract

FOR some years there has been proceeding, under the auspices of the National Research Council of Canada, an investigation of the control and stability characteristics of tailless aircraft. Because of the difficulties inherent in other methods of investigation, the work is being done in flight, using a glider.
