Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Report presenting flight measurements made to determine the characteristics of a pair of experimental ailerons designed to provide a close degree of balance and maintain a linear variation of aileron effectiveness with aileron angle through a large deflection range. Results regarding the small-deflection tests, large-deflection tests, effect of stretch on stick forces, and analysis of extended-span ailerons are provided.
