Report presenting a wind tunnel investigation of a beveled aileron shape designed to increase the useful deflection range. The purpose of the investigation was to determine the general aerodynamic characteristics of this aileron and, in particular, to determine its useful angular range. Results regarding the effect of the hinge-gap seal, the surface condition and Reynolds number, and effect of aileron profile are provided.

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL) identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S. government agency technical reports. The mission of TRAIL is to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access to government technical publications regardless of form or format.
