Wind-Tunnel Investigation of an NACA 23012 Airfoil With 30 Percent-Chord Venetian-Blind Flaps

Description: Report presents the results of an investigation made in the NACA 7 by 10-foot wind tunnel of a NACA 23012 airfoil with 30-percent-chord venetian-blind flaps having one, two, three, and four slats of Clark y section.
