Low-speed static longitudinal and lateral stability characteristics of a model with leading-edge chord-extensions incorporated on a 40 degree sweptback circular-arc wing of aspect ratio 4 and taper ratio 0.50

Kenneth W Goodson, Albert G Few

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation to determine the aerodynamic effects at low speed of several wing leading-edge chord-extensions incorporated on a complete model with a 40 degree sweptback circular-arc wing of aspect ratio 4 and taper ratio 0.50. Testing indicated that the effectiveness of the chord-extension in increasing the stability is mainly dependent on the spanwise inboard-end location of the device. Results regarding the static longitudinal characteristics and effect of chord-extension span and overhang on the lateral-stability parameters are provided.
