Abstract
Report presenting testing of 0.15-wing-chord, internally balanced ailerons on a low-drag tapered wing at Mach numbers up to 0.75. Both a normal-profile and beveled trailing-edge aileron were tested without a seal and with a partial seal. Results regarding variation of lift, static characteristics of the ailerons, aileron control characteristics, pitching moment induced by ailerons, balance pressures, and pressure distributions are provided.
