The Effect of Raking the Aileron Tips on the Lateral-control and Hinge-moment Characteristics of a 20-percent-chord Partial-span Outboard Aileron on a Wing with Leading-edge Swept Back 51.3 Degrees

Alexander D Hammond

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation at low speed to determine the lateral-control and hinge-moment characteristics of a 20-percent-chord unsealed partial-span outboard aileron with several plan forms. Results regarding the wing aerodynamic characteristics are also provided.
