Book Description
Results and discussion are presented of a low-speed lateral-control investigation of three untapered unswept wings of aspect ratio 1.13, 2.13, and 4.13 and an untapered 45 degrees sweptback wing of aspect ratio 2.09 equipped with 0.60-semispan retractable ailerons having various projections. Continuous-span ailerons were tested at outboard stations on the unswept wings, and plain (continuous span) and stepped (segmented) ailerons were tested at various spanwise stations with and without simulated actuating arms on the sweptback wing.

Pages : 56
Book Description
A series of untapered, unswept, complete wings of apsect ratios 1.13, 2.13, 4.13, and 6.13 was investigated at a Mach number of 0.26 to determine the effect of aspect ratio on the lateral control characteristics of the wings equipped with 0.25-chord sealed ailerons of various spans and of various spanwise locations. Design charts are presented for computing aileron effectiveness of low-aspect-ratio, untapered, unswept wings. Experimental values of control effectivenesss are compared with values estimated by theoretical methods.

Book Description
A wind-tunnel investigation at low speed was made to determine the lateral control characteristics of a 45 degree sweptback untapered semispan wing of aspect ratio 1.59 equipped with various 25-percent-chord plain unsealed ailerons. Variations of the lateral-control data with aileron span and spanwise location were determined through a large aileron-deflection range for various angles of attack up to about the angle of maximum lift.

Lift, Pitching Moment, and Span Load Characteristics of Wings at Low Speed as Affected by Variations of Sweep and Aspect Ratio

Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
Lift, pitching-moment, and pressure distribution were measured on a wing which was swept -40, -30, 0, 35, and 45 degrees. The wing span was decreased to give aspect ratios 6.8, 5.3, 4.2, 3.4, and 2.8. The effects of independent variations of sweep and aspect ratio on the lift, pitching-moment, and span-load characteristics of the wings are compared with the effects estimated by use of the Weissinger method.

A Comparison of the Lateral Controllability with Flap and Plug Ailerons on a Sweptback-wing Model Having Full-span Flaps

Pages : 30
Book Description
A free-flight-tunnel investigation has been made to compare the dynamic lateral control characteristics provided by step plug ailerons on a sweptback-wing model having full-span flaps. The model had a 38 degree sweptback wing with an aspect ratio of 3 and a taper ratio of 0.05. The static stability and control characteristics of the flight-test model were determined from force tests and the time-lag characteristics of the ailerons were determined from stand tests in which there was freedom only in roll. Flight tests of the model were made over a range of lift coefficient from 1.0 through the stall.

Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Spoiler-slot-deflector Control on a 45© Sweptback Wing at Mach Numbers of 1.61 and 2.01
Author: Douglas R. Lord

ISBN:
Category : Aerodynamics
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
An investigation has been made in the Langley 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel at Mach numbers of 1.61 and 2.01 to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a spoiler-slot-deflector control on a 45 degree sweptback wing having an aspect ratio of 3.5, a taper ratio of 0.3, and an NACA 65A005 airfoil section. The model was equipped with a 15-percent-chord spoiler-slot-deflector extending from 13 o 78 percent of the wing semispan. The spoiler and deflector were hinged along the 60- and 75-percent-chord lines, respectively. Tests were made at a Reynolds number of 3,000,000 (based on the mean aerodynamic chord of the wing) and covered ranges of angles of attack from -3 to 15 degrees, spoiler projections from 0 to 8.0 percent chord, and deflector projections from 0 to 7.6 percent chord.

Book Description
Four wing-body combinations of the same plan form (47 degree sweep, 3.5 aspect ratio, and 0.2 taper ratio) were compared at transonic speeds in the Langley 8-foot high-speed tunnel. Three wings were 4, 6, and 9 percent thick; the fourth was 6 percent thick but, on the inner 0.4 span, tapered to 12-percent thickness at the roots.
