Lateral Control Characteristics of Two Structurally Similar Flexible Wings with 45 Degrees Sweep: a Sweptback Wing and a Wing with M Plan Form

Rodger L Naeseth, D. R. Croom, John W. McKee

Abstract

Report presenting a low-speed wind-tunnel investigation to determine the static longitudinal control characteristics of flap-type and retractable spoiler-type ailerons on a rigid sweptback wing, a flexible sweptback wing, and a flexible M-wing. Results regarding the rigid-wing and flexible-wing characteristics for each plan form are also provided.
