Low-Speed Investigation of Deflectable Wing-Tip Ailerons on an Untapered 45 Degrees Sweptback Semispan Wing With and Without an End Plate

Report presenting a low-speed wind-tunnel investigation to determine the characteristics of deflectable wing-tip ailerons on an untapered 45 degree sweptback semispan wing. Ailerons with triangular and parallelogram plan forms with a maximum chord of 0.625 wing chord and a flat-plat profile were investigated. The aerodynamic characteristics in pitch and lateral control characteristics are included.
