An Investigation of the Lateral-Control Characteristics of Spoilers on a High-Aspect-Ratio Wing of NACA 65-210 Section in the Langley 8-Foot High-Speed Tunnel

Abstract

Three and six-percent-chord spoilers were tested on upper surface of high aspect ratio wing at 60 and 70 percent wing chord. Spoilers were mounted ahead of conventional 20 percent chord, straight-sided-profile ailerons, and had same span of 37.5 percent wing semispan. Spanwise loadings, moments, and rolling-moment coefficients were determined from pressure-distribution measurements.
