Effects of chord discontinuities and chordwise fences on low-speed static longitudinal stability of an airplane model having a 35 degree sweptback wing

Byron M Jaquet

Abstract

Report presenting the results of an investigation to determine the effect of chord discontinuities and chordwise fences on the static longitudinal stability and wake characteristics of an airplane model with a 35-degree sweptback wing. The use of a fence or chord extension was found to cause a slight improvement in the static longitudinal stability of the basic wing alone. The force data and flow characteristics in the form of wake surveys and surface tufts are provided.
