Wind-tunnel research comparing lateral control devices, particularly at high angles of attack 2: slotted ailerons and frise ailerons
Description:
Three model wings, two with typical slotted ailerons and one with typical frise ailerons, have been tested as part of a general investigation on lateral control devices with particular reference to their effectiveness at high angles of attack, in the 7 by 10 foot wind tunnel of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.
