25、 C.A. Technical Note No. 759 13Two notable differences occur in this comparison be-tween data from tests in the 4- by 6-foot vertical tunnel”and in the full-scale tunnels First, the value of acn/aaof 0.095 obtained from the present tests and those reportedin reference 4, although not in accord with

26、the value of0.083 obtained in the tests reported in refere.ce 3, is inagreement with the value of 0,095 from other full-scale-tunnel tests reported in reference 7. The other differ-ence occurs in comparisons of values of 3chf/86f andch+. This difference is in accordance with expectedresults. As poin

27、ted out previously, the section charac- teristics of the flap and the tab herein reported were notcorrected for tunnel effects. In addition, the gaps be-tween the flap and the tab were sealed. Both of these factors would cause an increase in these slopes. .* .CONCLUDING REMARKS. .,.,Aerodynamic sect
