description abstractAn investigation was made to determine the effects of slot shape and flap location on the characteristics of an NACA 66,2-2!6 (a = 0.6) airfoil equipped with a 0.25-chord slotted flap to provide a basis for the study of drooped airlerons. Two slots were investigated and practical flap paths were selected for each. One slot had a rounded entry; the other had an entry designed to reduce the gap with the flap retracted to a practical minimum.
Slot shape was found to have a negligible effect on the maximum lift coefficient if the flap was properly located. With the flap deflected, the rounded-entry slot had lower drag coefficients for intermediate lift coefficients than the minimum-gap slot. For either slot, the increment of section pitching-moment coefficient caused by flap deflection was approximately proportional to the increment of section lift coefficient.
