Summary:

This paper presents the results of flight tests made to determine the effect of slots and flaps on the lateral control of a low-wing monoplane. Maximum angular accelerations in roll and yaw produced by sudden application of the ailerons and maximum accelerations in yaw produced by sudden application of the rudder during gliding flight were recorded for the following wing arrangements: (a) no auxiliary device; (full-span slots; (c) plain flaps; (d) flaps and full-open slots; (e) wing-tip slots. Rolling- and yawing-moment coefficients were derived from the accelerations.
