Experimental investigation of the rolling motion of thin delta wings with varying sweep angles, using a free-to-roll method was conducted. The boundaries of dynamically stable and unstable regions of the delta wings were obtained and compared with vortex symmetry and vortex burst curves on a plane of angle of attack of the roll axis vs. delta wing sweep angle. An analytical expression of the rolling moment using a phase plane method was found to be satisfactory for generating the limit cycle similar to the one experimentally obtained. Using this expression, energy transfer in the unsteady motion was calculated.
