All the t st data are "based on the area, span, and mean
aerodynamic chord of the zero-dihedral configuration and are
measured with respect to the same moment-reference axes unless
otherwise stated. The origin of the moment-reference axes shown
in figure 2 is the quarter-chord point of the mean aerodynamic
chord when the wing is set at 0 geometric dihedral. Since the
mean aerodynamic choi'd moves upward with respoct to the moment-
reference point as positive dihedral is increased and downward
as negative dihedral is increased, it is necessary to correct the
"basic data presented with respect to the moment-reference axes
when moment data are desired ah out some point on the mean
aerodynamic chord of the wing.
Lift Characteristics
Pitching-Moiiient Characteristics
The data of figure 5 indicate that, when the pitching /
moments are referred to the momont^reference axes, an apparent
increase in longitudinal stability dC^/dCL with increasing *
geometric dihedral results. When the pitching moments are
referred to the mean aerodynamic chord for each dihedral angle,
however, only a slight change in longitudinal stabilitywith
geometric dihedral results.

change in Cj with lift coefficient near maximum lift is governed
