Wind-tunnel Investigation of Ailerons on a Low-drag Airfoil III : the Effect of Tabs

Robert M. Crane

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation of the effects of 0.20-aileron-chord tabs on an NACA 66,2-216 airfoil equipped with a 0.20-airfoil-chord plain sealed aileron. Basic data are presented from which the effect of tabs can be calculated for specific cases. The data are sufficient for the solution of problems of fixed tabs with a differential linkage, as well as simple and spring-linked balancing tabs.
