The fences were of cormtant height, being 60 percent of the maximum thickness of the local airfoil section, and extended. over the rear 95 per- cent of the airfoil chord. Tests The data were obtabed at Repolda nlmibera of 1.93 X 10 , 6 4 -35

4、X lo6, and. 6.00 X 10 6 with corresponding Mach nuaibers of 0.08, 0 -09, and 0.12, respectively. The stability derivatives were obtained from straight-line fairings of data obtained from tests at 00 and 250 angle of yaw. Extended angle-of-yaw tests were made at several angles of attack to cover the

5、yaw range from -50 to 25O Etngle of yaw. For the dng-alone testa the following flap configurations were used: (a) flaps neut-, (II) split flaps deflected, ana (c) split flaps and leading-edge flaps deflected with fences installed. For the wing- fuselage tests onlg the first and third flap config”ati

The surveys were made with the Langle;g 19-foot tmnel 6-tube . rake (fig. 5) in a pke normal to the tunnel center ltne and 1.71 behind the center

EPfect of Flaps on the Lateral-Stability Parameters Dihedral effect.- Th

14、e initial rate of Increase in effective dihedral with lift coefficient was slightly reduced by flap deflection. The maximum values of C2 were Increased, however, to 0 -0055 at a lift coefficient of 1.11 when the split flaps were deflected and to a value of 0.0065 at a CL of 1.29 when both the split

15、flaps and leading-edge flaps were deflected. The effective dihedral. remained at a large positive value at the maxirmrm lift coefficient when the leading-edge flap were deflectedj whereas with the plab w3ng and with only the split flape deflected, C became negative at the mum lift coefffcient. (Tuft

The low-wing combination had less dihedral effect than the wing alonej but, as the wing position was pro- gressively changed from low-w- to high-wing positio

20、n, the dihedral effect increased. The incremnt of increase in Cz between the low-wing and midwing combinations was about equal to that between the midwing and hi wing. The value of the increment in C at zero lift was about 0 -000 P with flaps neutral, and 0.0007 with the leading edge and split flaps

The dihedral effect due to the midwing posi-t;ion was very small a8 had been expected. In general, the effects due to the fuselage were of the same

The Fncrement in Cn was almoat constant throughout the lift-coefficient range except when the leading edge and split flaps were deflected on the low-wing colriblnation; then a large poeitfve value of C occurred at zero lift, reducing the deetabilizing * y* coefficient, and at a

25、2 9 Effect of Scale on Lateral-Stability Parameters A large scale effect was noted in the lateral-stability parameters for the plah wing when the Reynolds ntmiber was increased from 1.93 X 106 to 4.35 X 106, as shown in figure ll. (The scale effect in the range of Remolds number from 4 35 X 106 to 6

26、.00 X 106 was moderate for the stability parameters, except for C% at high lift coefficients. 1 The manlmlrm value of C at a Reynolds nWer of 1.93 X 106 was about one- half its value at R = 6 -00 X 106 and occurred at a much lower liFt coefficient. The directional stability and aide force were affec

27、ted in a sfmilar mer. 2* A very similar effect of Reynolds nzmiber waa observed for the 42* swept- back wing of reference 1, and consequent* it appears advisable to exercise caution when usfng lateral-etabiliQ parameters obtained at low Reynolds numbers, especially in the moderate to high lift range

28、 on swept wings with conventianal airfoil ahapes When the leading-edge and split flaps were deflected, the scale effect waa negligible throughout the range tested. Characteristics in Ertended Yaw Range The largest deviations of the stability parameters at high yaw angles frm those measured at tmaJl

29、yaw angles were obtaFned in the ana % variations at high angles of Bttack. At an angle of attack of 16.80 the various configurations with flaps neutral (fig. 13) shared a reversal tn slope for the variation of the yawing mament with angle of yaw at an angle of yaw of about 100, tending to make the m

30、odel less unstable. At an angle of attack of 23.30 (fig. 15), the directional instability due to the -elage increaaed rapidly between the yaw angles of loo and 13 when the lea-edge and split flaps were deflected.

32、g permitted without license from IHS-,-,-10 NACA RM No. mEl2 The results of the air-stream surveys (figs 16 to 19) show that the sidewash angles due to yaw are appreciable at the higher lift coefficients even for the plain wing, but they are only very slightly more negative than those for the 4.20 s

33、weptback wing of reference 1. The aspect ratio of the 42 sweptback wing was 3.94 as cmpared with 2.88 for the Po SWO- back wing discussed herein. The variation of the sidewash angles and dynamic pressure ratios at the tail with height above the fuselage center line were very similar to those for the

34、 42O uing, indicating that the effect of the wFng vortices is essentially t?m ame for the two wings. Unfavorable sidewash and wake characteristics occurred at the high angles of attack for the high-wing canbination, but these effects diminished 88 the wing position became lower. The greater height a

35、bove the wing wake and the end-plate effect of the wing on the fuselage vortices (as explained in reference 5) cawed the low-wing cambination to have favorable sidewash near the fuselage and also at the higher points. The effect due to deflecting the leading-edge flaps, and split flaps in cdination

36、with the fences wa8 to reduce slightly the negative side- wash angles and to came the decrease in qt/q due to the wiw wake to be more severe. This same effect due to flap deflection occurred on the 42O sweptback wing. 1 The results of an investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics in Yaw of a 5

37、2O sweptback wing Fn caznbination with a fuselage may be summrized as follows: 2. The combination of leading-edge flaps, split flaps, and fences extended the range of increase of effective-dihedral parameter with lift coefficient up to the maximum lift coefficient and increased the directional stabi

38、lity to higher lift coefficients. In all cases, hugever, the wing was directionally unstable near the maximum lift coefficient. 3. The low-wing and high-wing comBinatione had lower and higher dihedral effect, respectively, than the wing alone, and the magnitudes of the differences were comparable to

With flaps neutral, a large scale effect occurred for the lateral-stabiliQ pabmeters in the range of Reynolds rimer from 1.93 x 106 to 4.35 X 10

40、 and a very moderate effect in the range .- from 4 35 X 106 to 6 .OO X 106. With the conibinatim of l“-edge flaps, fences, and split flaps the scale effect was negligible. 6 5.
