Book Wind tunnel Research Comparing Lateral Control Devices Particularly at High Angles of Attack

Download or read book Wind tunnel Research Comparing Lateral Control Devices Particularly at High Angles of Attack written by Fred E. Weick and published by . This book was released on 1933 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the seventh in a series of systematic tests in which various lateral control devices are compared with particular reference to their effectiveness at high angles of attack. The present test were made with ordinary ailerons and different sizes of spoilers on rectangular Clark Y wing models with Handley Page tip and full-span slots. The tests, which were made in a 7 by 10c foot wind tunnel, showed the effect of the control devices on the general performance of the wings as well as on the lateral control and lateral stability characteristics.

This book was released on 1933 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the eighth of a series of systematic tests in which various lateral control devices are compared with particular reference to their effectiveness at high angles of attack. The present tests were made awith rounded tips; one rather blunt and only slightly rounded, and the other more slender with the curvature extending well in from the end of the wing. Medium-sized and short wide ailerons were tested on both wings, and in additions, skewed ailerons were tested on the wing having the more slender tip. The tests, which were made in a 7 by 10 foot wind tunnel, showed the effect of the ailerons and the tip shapes on the general performance of the wing, as well as on the lateral control and stability characteristics. The hinge moments were not measured but approximate values are given in the first report of the series.

This book was released on 1933 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report covers the eleventh of a series of systematic tests being conducted to compare different lateral control devices with particluar reference to their effectiveness at high angles of attack. The present tests were made with six different forms of floating tip allerons of symmetrical section.

This book was released on 1933 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the tenth report on a series of systematic tests comparing lateral control devices with particular reference to their high angles of attack. The present tests were made with two sizes of ordinary ailerons and different sizes of spoilers on a Clark Y wing model having a narrow auxiliary airfoil fixed ahead and above the leading edge, the chords of the main and auxiliary airfoils being parallel. In addition, the auxiliary airfoil itself was given angular deflection for the purpose of providing rolling moments for lateral control.
