Wind-Tunnel Research Comparing Lateral Control Devices, Particularly at High Angles of Attack 1: Ordinary Ailerons on Rectangular Wings
Description:
"This report is the first in a series in which it is intended to compare the relative merits of all ordinary and some special forms of ailerons and other lateral control devices in regard to their effect on lateral controllability, lateral stability, and airplane performance. The comparisons are based on wind-tunnel test data, all the control devices being fitted to model wings having the same span, area, and airfoil section, and being subjected to the same series of force and rotation tests.
