- Summary:
- This is the tenth report on a series of systematic tests comparing lateral control devices with particular reference to their high angles of attack. The present tests were made with two sizes of ordinary ailerons and different sizes of spoilers on a Clark Y wing model having a narrow auxiliary airfoil fixed ahead and above the leading edge, the chords of the main and auxiliary airfoils being parallel. In addition, the auxiliary airfoil itself was given angular deflection for the purpose of providing rolling moments for lateral control.
