NACA Technical Notes
Note presenting an investigation of the effects of tip dihedral on lateral stability and control characteristics by flight tests of models in the free-flight tunnel. The results indicate that at high lift coefficients, tip dihedral may cause a lightly damped lateral oscillation, which does not occur with full-span dihedral at similar values of effective dihedral and directional stability
