Collection and analysis of wind-tunnel data on the characteristics of isolated tail surfaces with and without end plates

Report presenting the aerodynamic characteristics of 19 isolated tail surfaces, which have been determined by wind tunnel tests. Testing was also made of rectangular airfoils of various aspect ratios with and without double end plates of various shapes. The analysis indicated that the slope of the lift curve could be predicted within 10 percent for all models by use of lifting-surface-theory equations.
