Abstract
Memorandum presenting a wind-tunnel investigation of the three types of lateral control devices on a low-aspect-ratio trapezoidal wing. Tip ailerons, a plain spoiler, and a vented spoiler were investigated to ascertain the relative characteristics of each system. The results indicated the superiority in roll power of the tip ailerons over the plain and vented ailerons.
