- Summary:
- This report is the ninth on a series of systematic tests in which various lateral control devices are compared, with particular reference to their effectiveness at high angles of attack. The present 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 and, in addition, on the wing with the extreme taper, medium and short wide ailerons having a constant chord were tested.
