Aerodynamic study of a wing-fuselage combination employing a wing swept back 63 degrees: Effects of split flaps, elevons, and leading-edge devices at low speed (open access)

Aerodynamic study of a wing-fuselage combination employing a wing swept back 63 degrees: Effects of split flaps, elevons, and leading-edge devices at low speed

Report presenting an investigation to evaluate the effects of split flaps, elevons, sharp leading edges, drooped-nose flaps, and extended-nose flaps on the lift, drag, and pitching-moment characteristics at low speed of a wing-fuselage combination with a wing with the leading edge swept back 63 degrees and an aspect ratio of 3.5. Results regarding the plain wing and wing-fuselage combinations, Reynolds number, split flaps, elevons, leading-edge devices, and highest lift coefficient attained before longitudinal instability are provided.

Investigation of Low-Speed Aileron Control Characteristics at a Reynolds Number of 6,800,000 of a Wing With Leading Edge Swept Back 42 Degrees With and Without High-Lift Devices (open access)

Investigation of Low-Speed Aileron Control Characteristics at a Reynolds Number of 6,800,000 of a Wing With Leading Edge Swept Back 42 Degrees With and Without High-Lift Devices

Report presenting an investigation at a Reynolds number of 6,800,000 to determine the low-speed lateral control characteristics of a 20-percent-chord half-span outboard aileron on a wing with 42 degrees of sweepback at the leading edge. The lateral control, aileron hinge-moment, aileron load, and balance-chamber-pressure characteristics were determined for the wing with and without high-lift and stall-control devices for an angle-of-attack range from -4 degrees through the stall.

Two-Dimensional Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Two NACA 6-Series Airfoils With Leading-Edge Slats (open access)

Two-Dimensional Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Two NACA 6-Series Airfoils With Leading-Edge Slats

Report presenting an investigation of two NACA 6-series airfoils, the NACA 64(sub)1-212 and NACA 65A109 with leading edge slats and split flaps deflected 60 degrees. Information about optimum slat positions, airfoil section lift characteristics, pitching-moment characteristics, and effect of roughness on the lift characteristics was obtained.
