Experimental investigation of the effects of sideslip on canard-configuration aircraft at high angle of attack

Sideslip-induced asymmetrical vortices are critical to the performance of canard-configuration aircraft. In this paper, a canard-configuration model was found to roll around a nonzero trim angle in a free-to-roll experiment, indicating a loss of lateral static stability. This loss was also evidenced...
