The Effect of Curvature of Surface and Thickness of Trailing Edge on Aileron Hinge Moments PART I Modification to Aileron on Upper Surface

摘要

(a) Reasons for Investigation.—To provide additional data on the effect on hinge moment of rounding the upper surface and of thickening the trailing edge of an aileron.n(b) Range of Investigation.—Hinge moment measured on an aileron (24 -6 per cent, balance) designed for a low-altitude fighter, designated Aircraft B, and on an aileron (27| per cent, balance), with various modifications to the upper surface, of a high-altitude fighter, Aircraft A, on a £-scale model half-wing.
