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.
