Abstract

Report presenting an investigation in the full-scale tunnel to determine the effects of a Fowler type slotted flap on the aerodynamic characteristics of a semispan 49.1 degree sweptback wing with NACA 65A006 airfoil sections streamwise, an aspect ratio of 3.78, and a taper ratio of 0.59. Results regarding the pitching-moment curve, effect of flap deflection, and lift increments are provided.
