Flight measurements of the lateral control characteristics of narrow-chord ailerons on the trailing edge of a full-span slotted flap

Description: From Summary: "Results are presented of light tests made to determine the effect of flap deflection on the lateral control characteristics of a modified Brewster F2A-2 airplane equipped with partial-span narrow-chord ailerons on the trailing edge of a full-span NACA slotted flap. The investigation included determination of the rolling and yawing characteristics of the airplane in abrupt aileron rolls with the slotted flap at various settings ranging from 0 degree to about 40 degrees.
