A low speed investigation was conducted in the Langley V/STOL tunnel to define the static stability characteristics of an advanced high subsonic speed transport aircraft model in the cruise configuration (no high lift system). The wing of the model had 42 deg sweep of the quarter chord line, an aspect ratio of 6.78, and supercritical airfoil sections. Three different horizontal tail configurations (high, mid, and low) were investigated on the complete model and for the model with the wing removed in order to assess effects of the wing flow field on the tail contributions to both longitudinal and lateral stability characteristics. All the model configurations investigated were tested over an angle of attack range from approximately -5 to 23 deg. Some model configurations were also tested over an angle of attack range from about 11 to 38 deg in order to explore the aerodynamic characteristics in the deep stall region.
