Abstract
Report presenting an investigation to determine the longitudinal control characteristics of deflectable wing-tip elevators on a low-aspect-ratio, untapered, 45 degree sweptback semispan wing. The elevators had triangular and parallelogrammic plan forms and flat-plate profiles. Results include the elevator effectiveness and comparison of the elevator effectiveness of deflectable wing-tip controls and trailing-edge flap-type controls.
