ABSTRACT:
An aircraft nose and forebody shaped to produce relatively ideal vortex patterns which will provide improved static directional stability of the aircraft in the stall angle of attack region and above. The nose is shaped from its forwardmost tip with a broad, flattened lateral cross section having relatively sharp edges extending around each lateral surface, blending rearwardly to a radius approximately midway between the top and bottom surfaces of the forebody in the region where separation of the vortices is desired.
