An experimental investigation was made in the Langley stability tunnel to determine whether the low-speed longitudinal stability characteristics of a model with a 35 degree sweptback wing could be improved appreciably by lowering the horizontal tail. The investigation included tests of several components of the model and of various model configurations with chordwise fences on the wing.
