Investigation of wing-tip ailerons on a 51.3 degrees sweptback wing at transonic speeds by the transonic-bump method

Report presenting an investigation to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of deflectable wing-tip ailerons on a sweptback wing in the Langley high-speed tunnel by means of the transonic bump technique. Three ailerons were investigated, one with a basic wing-plan form and two with an extended-tip plan form. Results regarding the longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics, rolling-moment data, control effectiveness, and lift effectiveness are provided.
