Title: Low-speed Aileron Effectiveness as Determined by Force Tests and Visual-flow Observations on a 52 Degree Sweptback Wing with and Without Chord-extensions
Abstract: The results of an investigation of the effects of leading-edge chord-extensions and extensible leading-edge flaps on the low-speed aileron characteristics of a 52 degrees sweptback wing with circular-arc airfoil sections are presented. A description and illustrations of the vortex flow as it passes over the wing are included. The investigation was conducted at Reynolds numbers of 5.5 times 10(exp 6) and 1.3 times 10(exp 6) and corresponding Mach numbers of 0.11 and 0.065 for an angle-of-attack range of 0 degrees through stall.
