An investigation to determine the effects of wing loading and altitude on lateral stability and control has been carried out in the NACA free-flight tunnel. The results of the flight tests of the model were correlated with calculated stability boundaries, and an effort was made to determine for each loading condition the airplane configuration that gave the best flight characteristics.
