description abstractINTRODUCTION
The importance of obtaining adequate lateral control for airplanes incorporating sweptback wings has led the NACA to engage in an extensive program of lateral-control research on various sweptback-wing configurations. The purposes of this program are to determine the characteristics of various lateral-control devices, to attempt to improve these characteristics where possible by modification of these-devices, and to investigate wholly new lateral-control devices.
Reported herein are the results of a lateral-control investigation of a 20-percent-chord by 39-percent-semispan sealed plain aileron on a 51.3° sweptback wing having an aspect ratio of 3.06 and a taper ratio of 0.49. The lateral-control characteristics of two stepped spoilers, similar t o spoiler 18 of reference 1, were also investigated.
Aileron rolling-moment, yawing-moment, and hinge-moment coefficients wore determined through a speed range from a Mack number of 0.30 t o a Mach number of 0.91 over a range of aileron deflection of approximately +30°and a range of wing angle of attack from approximately -4° to 16°. Spoiler rolling-moment and yawing-moment coefficient were determined for both spoiler configurations at one spoiler projection through the speed range and at wing angles of attack from approximately -4° to 4°. The characteristics of the more satisfactory of the two spoiler configurations were determined through a range of spoiler projection.
The tests were made in the Langley high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel.
