Horizontal-tail Load Measurements at Transonic Speeds of the Bell X-1 Research Airplane
A 1953 NACA technical report by NASA's Technical Reports Server, measuring horizontal-tail loads on the Bell X-1 research airplane at transonic speeds for aeronautical engineers. The pictures are plain engineering graphs of tail load against time or coefficient, with a photograph of the X-1 in powered flight, offering a designer little beyond the sleek rocket-plane silhouette and the stark line-and-grid chart style.
