The Use of Two-Dimensional Section Data to Estimate the Low-Speed Wing Lift Coefficient at Which Section Stall First Appears on a Swept Wing

Report discusses a procedure for estimating the wing lift coefficient for and spanwise location of the first occurrence of section stall on a swept wing. It has been modified from a method used to calculate the same information for unswept wings. The effects of split flaps, leading-edge modifications, and fences are described.
