Abstract

Abstract : This report describes the technical effort investigating the dynamic characteristics of the Innovative Control Effectors Configuration 101 tailless aircraft concept. A series of static, rotary balance, and forced oscillation tests were conducted to acquire more information on the aerodynamic properties associated with this 65 degree, delta wing concept. Results show the vehicle to be well damped in pitch and roll motions and neutrally damped in yaw motions. Significant oscillating frequency effects were identified during forced oscillation testing with the impact most notable in the 15 < AOA < 45 degree region.
