Effect of geometry and mass distribution on tumbling characteristics of flying wings

A study examined the low-speed tumbling characteristics of 12 generic flying-wing models. The results show that location, mass distribution and geometric aspect ratio strongly affect the tumbling characteristics of the models tested.
