Flight tests were conducted on an F-84G to evaluate the drag and the maneuvering flight characteristics of the aircraft with modified Republic 320-gal experimental tip tanks installed. Vibratory accelerations experienced by the 320-gal tanks and the tank center-of-gravity shift with attitude change and time were also measured. Compared with Republic standard 230-gal tip tanks, the modified 320-gal tanks were found to indicate (1) an additional loss at 10,000 ft of some 3 to 7 knots calibrated air speed in the rpm range max continuous to 84% (2) the same or slightly higher stick forces in maneuvering flight.
