Measurements were made in the NACA full-scale tunnel of the pressure distribution over the horizontal tail surface of a typical pursuit airplane in order to determine the effects of propeller operation and angle of yaw on the tail load distribution. Most of the tests were made with the propeller operating to simulate climb conditions, high-speed dives, and pull-ups to various normal accelerations for angles of yaw ranging from 10 degrees to -10 degrees. Measurements were also made of the distributions of downwash angle and dynamic pressure in front of the horizontal tail and results have been correlated with the results of the pressure-distribution tests.
