Investigation of Extensible Wing-tip Ailerons on an Untapered Semispan Wing at 0 Degree and 45 Degrees Sweepback

John R Hagerman, William M O'Hare

Abstract

Report presenting a low-speed wind-tunnel investigation to determine the lateral control characteristics of extensible wing-tip ailerons on an untapered semispan wing with two configurations; one was unswept and had an aspect ratio of 3.13 and the other was swept back 45 degrees and had an aspect ratio of 1.59. Results regarding the plain-wing aerodynamic characteristics and lateral control characteristics are provided.
