Flight tests have been conducted to determine the lateral and directional stability and control characteristics of an airplane on which the wing panels are swept back 35 deg. For these tests, the wings are equipped with slots extending from 40 to 80 percent of the span of the sweptback wing panels measured from the inboard end. Wind-tunnel tests were made. of a model of the airplane and wherever possible the flight and wind-tunnel data have been compared.
