Experimental Investigation of Rolling Performance of Straight and Sweptback Flexible Wings With Various Ailerons

Abstract

Two flexible wings, one with 45 degrees sweepback and the other unswept, were tested by the University of Washington Aeronautical laboratories to determine their performance in roll. Rolling moments due to aileron deflection, aamping derivatives in roll, and free-rolling angular velocities due to aileron deflection were obtained at various speeds including, when possible, the aileron reversal speed.
