The results of an experimental and theoretical investigation of the effects of large artificial variations of four rotary stability derivatives on the dynamic lateral stability and control of a 45 degree sweptback-wing airplane model are presented. The experimental results are presented mainly in the form of flight ratings for stability, control, and general flight behavior. Calculations of period and damping and of the response of rolling and yawing disturbances are also presented.
