Lateral-directional dynamic stability derivatives are presented for a O.1-scale model of the XC-142A tilt-wing transport. The tests involved various descending flight conditions achieved at constant speed and wing incidence by varying the vehicle angle of attack. The propeller blade angle and the speed were also changed in the steepest descent case. The experimental data were analyzed assuming that the dynamic motions of the vehicle may be described by linearized equations, with the lateral-directional characteristics of the full-scale aircraft also presented and discussed. Results from this experimental investigation indicated that the full-scale aircraft would have a stable lateral-directional motion in level flight, with the dynamic motion becoming less stable as the descent angle was increased.
