The results show the roll is static unstable in small angles; the roll dynamic test curves present obvious non-linearity characteristics, and the model vibrates violently even When the angle of attack is small, which may be provoked by the non-symmetry transition from the small transverse flow around the nose of model. Subsequent research adopts longitudinal trips to generate symmetry transition at the fore-body of the model. As a result, the lateral stability of the aircrafts is apparently improved. The results show that the lateral stability of hypersonic aircrafts is very weak, and the main reason for this is lateral perturbation of flow over the nose, among which asymmetric transition weighs the most. Adoption of longitudinal trips could spur fixed transition of lateral flow, reduce the transition asymmetry of lateral flow, and strengthen the lateral stability of hypersonic aircrafts at the same time.展开更多
