Summary

Tests were made to investigate the effects of Mach number on the oscillatory lateral derivatives of a three-surface, high-incidence research model (HIRM 1). Effects of Reynolds number and frequency parameter were also investigated at low speed. A new flexible sting and hydraulic actuator system were designed for the tests in the 2.4 m x 2.4 m Pressurised Wind Tunnel.

Results showed that the effects of Reynolds number and frequency parameter were not very significant at low speeds but there were quite large effects of Mach number on some derivatives, notably yawing and rolling moments due to sideslip and rate of yaw.
