Abstract
Report presenting an investigation to determine the roll effectiveness, hinge-moment characteristics, and aileron center-of-load locations on an outboard 40-percent-semispan flap-type aileron on a 30 degree sweptback wing with an aspect ratio of 3.0, a taper ratio of 0.2, and NACA 65A004 airfoil sections. Results regarding general aileron characteristics and other aerodynamic characteristics are also presented.
