Abstract
Abrupt, ruddeFfixed aileron rolls have been made w i t h the B e l l X-1 airplane having a 10-percent-thick wing In glides t o a Mach number of 0.82 a t about, 30,000 feet pressure altitude.Aileron movements were between one-fourth and one-half of full deflection.These a i l e r m r o l l s i n d i c a t e t h a t Mach number has l i t t l e e f f e c t 4 , on the aileron effectiveness up t o a Mach number of 0.82.w
