Abstract
This note describes two alternative methods of measuring aileron effectiveness in flight for comparison with the results of estimates and wind tunnel measurements. Results obtained on four aircraft show that the agreement obtained is not particularly good but the tunnel measurements do indicate the reduction in aileron effectiveness to be expected in flight at high lift coefficients on swept wing aircraft.
