Summary:

Recent data have shown that certain forms or types of ailerons in extensive use, are in reality quite inefficient and entirely unsuited for the high speeds now realized. The same data also show forms B and C on Figure 3 to be efficient and satisfactory in every way.

The most important of the characteristics required of ailerons are: (1) Small moments about the hinge ; (2) High efficiency (small yawing moment opposing turn); (3) Simplicity in construction ; (4) Simplicity in construction.

The following notes have been compiled from various sources in order to supply data and instructions for obtaining satisfactory results based on the requirements just enumerated.
