In the first phase of the investigation, reported in reference 1, seven unswept wings having NACA beries sections,

4、 aspect ratios of 8, 10, and 12, and taper ratios of?.5 and 3.5 were investi- gated to determine the effects of aspect ratio, taper ratio, and chord thickness ratio. In the final phase ofthe investigation, reported herein, two wings of NACA 2304eries and low4lrag 6keries sections were tested and the

5、 results are compsred with those of a wing of NACA kkeries sections and of the same plan form reported in refertince 1 to determine the effects of airfoil profile on the wing aerodynemic characteristics.

19、d by calculations using the method of NACA TX No. 1269 and by wind-tunnel tests to demonstrate the accuracy of calculations and to show the effect of airfoil section on the aerodynamic characteristics of unswept tapered wings. . The wings investigated were similar in plan form, had aspect ratio 10 e

20、nd taper ratio 2.5, and incorporated NACA 44-series, 23GSeries, and low-drag keries airfoil profiles. On the basis of compariecm at equal values of Reynolds nunber the following conclusicms were made: 1. The agreement obtained between the calculated and experimental cheracteristics was in most cases

21、 excellent. No definite trend existed within the scope of the investigation which would indicate that the degree of cornelation depends on airfoil Section. 2. The maximm lift coefficients obtained for the smooth wings with flaps neutral.were approximately equal. With flaps deflected md Smooth surfac

22、es, the highest value of maximum lift coefficient was obtained for the wing of NACA 23C-series sections. Because of the low flap effectiveness for the wing of NACA herlee sections, the maximum lift coefficient obtained for this wing was larer than that obtained for the wing of NACA of NACA 23a-Serie

23、s sections with the flaps neutral exhibited an abrupt stall, which may be unsatisfactory when stall warning or lateral stability at the stall is considered.
