Investigation of effect of span and spanwise location of plain and stepped spoiler ailerons on lateral control characteristics of a wing with leading edge swept back 51.3 degrees
Description:
Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation at low speed to determine the lateral control characteristics of a 51.3 degree sweptback-wing model equipped with either plain or stepped spoiler ailerons with a fixed projection of 5-percent-wing chord and various spans and spanwise locations. The results indicated that spanwise rolling-effectiveness charts of flap-type ailerons can not be used to predict effectiveness of spoiler-type ailerons on swept wings. Results regarding the wing aerodynamic …
