Experimental investigation of wing fin configurations for alleviation of vortex wakes of aircraft [PDF]
A variety of fin configurations were tested on a model of the Boeing B747 in 40 by 80 foot wind tunnels. The test results confirmed that a reduction in wake rolling moment was brought about by the vortex shed by the fins so that a wide range of designs ...

Summary of information on low-speed lateral-directional derivatives due to rate of change of sideslip beta prime [PDF]
The results presented show that the magnitudes of the aerodynamic stability derivatives due to rate of change of sideslip become quite large at high angles of attack for swept- and delta-wing configurations, and that such derivatives have large effects ...
