Equations and Charts for the Rapid Estimation of Hinge-Moment and Effectiveness Parameters for Trailing-Edge Controls Having Leading and Trailing Edges Swept Ahead of the Mach Lines

"Existing conical-flow solutions have been used to calculate the hinge-moments and effectiveness parameters of trailing-edge controls having leading and trailing edges swept ahead of the Mach lines and having streamwise root and tip chords. Equations and detailed charts are presented for the rapid estimation of these parameters. Also included is an approximate method by which these parameters may be corrected for airfoil-section thickness" (p. 937).
