Summary:

Tests were made in the N.A.C.A. 7- by 10-foot wind tunnel of the Clark Y wing having split flaps with a gap between the flap and the lower surfaces of the wing. Lift, drag, and pitching moments were measured for the wing with three different sizes of flap. It was found that any gap between the flap and the wing reduced the lift, the drag, and the pitching moments, but that the center-of-pressure movement and the ratio of lift to drag were little affected.
