Determination of the stability and control characteristics of a straight-wing, tailless fighter-airplane model in the Langley free-flight tunnel
Inspired by the above document, I plan to use this thread to describe a very light, very small, all metal aircraft.
The design will attempt to emulate the Davis DA-11 in size and performance - while being very slightly less heavy.
I will use a spreadsheet to check weight and balance.
My initial assumption is that since the DA-11 "worked" a flying wing derivation can "work". The NACA study seems to support this conjecture.
