Preliminary investigation of various ailerons on a 42 degree sweptback wing for lateral control at transonic speeds

Thomas R Turner, Vernard E Lockwood, Raymond D Vogler

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation at transonic speeds in the high speed tunnel to determine the rolling-effectiveness characteristics of several aileron arrangements for use on a 42 degree sweptback wing. Results regarding the rolling-moment coefficients, variation of coefficient with Mach number, outboard cusp aileron, and use of the leading-edge flaps are provided.
