Wing-Tunnel Investigation of Effects of Various Aerodynamic Balance Shapes and Sweepback on Control-Surface Characteristics of Semispan Tail Surfaces With NACA 0009, 0015, 66-009, 66(215)-014, and Circular-Arc Airfoil Sections
Description:
Note presenting a summary of force data on unswept and sweptback airplane control surfaces. Lift and hinge-moment characteristics were determined for four unswept, semispan control surfaces, and lift, drag, hinge moment, and pitching moment were determined for two semispan, sweptback control surfaces. Measured values of the parameters are compared with those obtained from section data by application of lifting-surface and lifting-line theory.
