The Use of Area Suction for the Purpose of Delaying Separation of Air Flow at the Leading Edge of a 63 Degree Swept-Back Wing

Description: "An investigation was conducted to determine the effectiveness of area suction used to delay the separation of air flow at the leading edge of a 63 degree swept-back wing. Changes in lift, drag, and pitching-moment data were correlated with the occurrence of the separation of the air flow by means of pressure-distribution data. It was found that the spanwise and the chordwise extent of area suction required to control leading-edge separation were in general agreement with that predicted by theo… more

The Use of Area Suction for the Purpose of Improving Trailing-Edge Flap Effectiveness on a 35 Degree Sweptback Wing

Description: "An investigation was conducted to determine the effectiveness of suction applied through a porous area at the leading edge of the flap, on a 35 degree sweptback wing. Several chordwise extents and positions of area suction were tested for the suction flap deflected 55 degrees and 70 degrees. The results indicated that large increases in flap lift increment can be made by applying suction with very small flow quantities to an area near the leading edge of a flap" (p. 1).

A Fibrous-Glass Compact as a Permeable Material for Boundary-Layer-Control Applications Using Area Suction

Description: "Measurements were made of the resistance of fibrous-glass compacts to normal air flow. The flow resistance was related to the thickness and density. As a porous material for boundary-layer-control applications using area suction, the fibrous-glass compact could be made to any desired thickness and permeability and sandwiched between perforated rigid surfaces" (p. 1).

Perforated sheets as the porous material for a suction-flap application

Description: Two-dimensional tests were made of an NACA 0006 airfoil with area suction applied to a porous region on a 0.3-chord trailing-edge flap deflected 50 degrees. The lift with suction approached the value computed from thin-airfoil theory. The lift gains and suction quantity requirements were unaffected by the perforation patterns of the surface over a wide range of hole sizes and spacings.
