FOREWORD
The accompanying tables and bibliography describe the experimental
aerodynamic studies of the NACA in the field of wing controls for the
period between January, 1946 and February, 1955. This paper has been
t prepared to simplify the task of industry and service engineering per-
sonnel of locating pertinent data from the large amount of information
available.
The tables are grouped according to the following major classifi-
cations:
Trailing-edge flap controls (including all-movable wing and tip
controls)
Leading-edge flap controls
Spoiler controls
Each group is subdivided further in accordance with the index presented
herein. The tables themselves present the following information con-
cerning each control study reported:
Wing planform
Control arrangement
Test conditions and facility
Type of control information obtained
Reference report
Typical types of controls referred to in the tables are shown in fig-
ure 1.
It will be observed that, inasmuch as the tables are divided into
four Mach number categories, studies covering a wide speed range are in
many cases listed more than once. Tables not complete in this regard
are noted as follows:-331DO-UhU
