Considerable importance is attached by the Navy to the ability of a pilot to return the wing of a banked airplane to level by use of the rudder alone and without a change of heading of the airplane, particularly at low speeds, where the airplane may be in close proximity to the ground or to the deck of an aircraft carrier, and a banked attitude might be produced by turbulent-air conditions. Because of the resulting interest, a study has been made of the aerodynamic factors upon which the ability to perform the maneuver depends in an attempt to obtain a better understanding of the conditions involved and, if possible, to evolve criterions that may be used during design.
