Abstract

Report presenting the low-speed lateral control and hinge-moment characteristics of a 20-percent-chord plain aileron on a 47.7 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 5.1 in the pressure tunnel. The tests were performed with and without high-lift and stall-control devices. Results regarding the basic aileron data, rolling-moment characteristics, and pitching-moment characteristics are also provided.
