description abstractINTRODUCTION
The contemplated use of swept wings incorporating sharp-edged air-foil sections for high-speed airplanes has resulted in a need for information concerning the effectiveness of lateral-control devices on wings of this type. An investigation at low air speeds, therefore, has been made in the Langley 19-foot pressure tunnel to determine the lateral characteristics fo a 42° sweptback wing which had sharp-edged, symmetrical, circular-arc airfoil sections and was equipped with either a conventional aileron or various span wise arrangements of step spoilers.
The rolling-moment characteristics of the aileron and the spoilers together with the aileron hinge-moment, normal-force, and balance-chamber pressure characteristics were determined for both the plain wing and the wing equipped with various high-lift and stall-control devices. These devices included extensible, round-nose, leading-edge flaps, leading-edge drooped-nose flaps, trailing-edge split flaps, and upper-surface fences.
The investigation was conducted at Reynolds numbers ranging between 5.3 X 106 and 6.9 X 106 which corresponded to a mach number range of 0.11 to 0.15.
