Low-Speed Wind Tunnel Tests on a Diamond Wing High Lift Configuration

Abstract

On modem military air vehicles, high lift systems are used to improve takeoff and landing performance. For naval air vehicles, an improvement in the lift coefficient of a landing or approach configuration allows for arrested landings at reduced speeds or the ability to carry more weight back to the ship. For conventional takeoff or landing (CTOL), improved lift to drag ratios allow for shorter takeoff runs or greater payload capacity.
