A method of solution for the aileron reversal speed of a swept wing (with emphasis on sweepback) is developed on the lines of strip and semi-rigid theories.nThe influence of the following parameters is investigated :—n(a) The degree of sweep.n(b) Wing torsional and flexural stiffness.n(c) Wing plan-form.n(d) Aileron plan form.nFamilies-of curves are given for extended variation of these parameters which ma}' be used for the direct estimation of the reversal speed of a given wing by interpolation.
