Wind-Tunnel Investigation of an NACA 66-Series 16-Percent-Thick Low-Drag Tapered Wing With Fowler and Split Flaps

Robert H. Neely, Gerald V. Foster

Abstract

Report presenting testing to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of an NACA 66-series 16-percent-thick low-drag tapered wing with Fowler and split flaps. The wing had a straight trialing edge and a constant-chord center section. Results regarding lift and pitching-moment characteristics and stalling characteristics are provided.
