Effect of aileron displacement on wing characteristics

Description: The effect of aileron displacement on wing characteristics has been investigated for the Clark Y and the U.S.A. 27 wing sections equipped with rectangular ailerons. The airfoils, rectangular in plan, and having a 10 inch chord and 60 inch span, were mounted on a model fuselage.

Mercerization of Cotton for Strength With Special Reference to Aircraft Cloth

Description: The object of the present investigation was to determine the conditions for mercerizing cotton yarn to obtain the maximum strength for a given weight. Apparatus for controlling the variables was built and yarns were mercerized with it under systematically varied conditions of tension, time, temperature, and concentration of caustic soda. The strongest conclusion to be drawn from this work is that the strongest mercerized yarn of a given count from a given quality of cotton is obtained under cer… more

Wind Tunnel Research Comparing Lateral Control Devices, Particularly at High Angles of Attack 8: Straight and Skewed Ailerons on Wings With Rounded Tips

Description: Tests showed the effect of the ailerons and the tip shapes on the general performance of the wing, as well as on the lateral control and stability characteristics. The hinge moments were not measured but the approximate values are given in the first report of the series.

Wind-Tunnel Research Comparing Lateral Control Devices, Particularly at High Angles of Attack 9: Tapered Wings With Ordinary Ailerons

Description: Tests were made with ordinary flap-type ailerons on two wings with different amounts of taper, one medium and the other extreme. On each wing both medium sized tapered ailerons and short wide tapered ailerons were tested.
