Abstract

Since the sailplane represents a highly optimized aerodynamic form, the influence on performance of small effects such as stabilizer lift is worth considering.....  It is concluded that non-zero stabilizer lift increases sinking speed and for a K-8B the greatest effect is with a forward C. G. position and a high speed.
