Two-dimensional wind-tunnel investigation of 0.20-airfoil-chord plain ailerons of different contour on an NACA 65(sub 1)-210 airfoil section

Jones F Cahill

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation of three interchangeable sealed-gap 0.20-airfoil-chord plain ailerons of different contour on the NACA 65(sub 1)-210 airfoil section. The three aileron contours tested were the true airfoil contour, straight sides, and a beveled trailing edge. Results regarding the aileron effectiveness, aileron hinge moments, lift, pitching moment, and drag are provided.
