Abstract

smmmmAilerons having a beveled trailing edge and a bluntnose overhang of 35 nercent aileron chord on an NACA 66(215)-21(+air.?oil have been tested in the twodim.ensional-fj.cl';!tcsL section of the Langley stability turrnel.Five c~r,f'i ;'tiz:~.tions of the model were tested with various inodj.ficationsofthe ai].eron nose and adjacent airfoil contour to determine the effect of these modifications on the lift and aileron hinge-moment characteristics.
