5、n and E. LaVerne PriddyAn investigation was made by lifting-surfacetheory of a thin elliptic wing of aspect ratio 6in a steady roll by means of the electromagnetic-anaogy method. From the results, aspect-ratiocorrections for the damping in roll and aileron hingemoments for a wing in steady roll were
6、 obtained thatare considerably more accurate than those given bylifting-line theory. First-order effects of com-pressibility were included in the computations.The results obtained by llfting-surface theoryindicate that the damping in roll for a wing of aspectratio 6 is 13 percent less than that give

28、ENERAL METHODThe values of the damping in roll C_p presentedin reference 2 were obtained by applying the Jonesedge-velocity correction to the lifting-line-theoryvalues. For a wing of aspect 6, the Jones edge-velocitycorrection reduces the values of C_p by about 8 percent.From the data obtained on th
29、e electromagnetic-analogymodel of the elliptic wing of aspect ratio 6, a moreaccurate correction to C_ for this aspect ratioPcould be calculated. The damping in roll was foundrio be 13 percent less than that given by llftlng-linetheory. The results were extended to obtain valuesof C_p for wings of v

In o
32、rder to avoid measuring ,Chaif p Chat all points to be computed, the effect of rolling isusually accounted for by estimating an effective an_:leof attack of the rolling wing such that the statichinge moment at this angle is equivalent to the hingemoments during a roll at the initial angle of attack.
33、The effective angle of attack is equal to the initialangle of attack corrected by an incremental angle (A_)Chthat accounts for rolling, whereThe value of (A_)Ch is added to the initial a forthe downgoing wing and subtracted from the initialfor the u_going wing. The va_nes of Ch correspondingto these
34、 corrected values of a are then determinedand are converted to stick force from the known dynamicpressure, the aileron d_mmnsion_, and the mechanicaladvantage.The value of pb/2V to be used in equation (1)for determining (Aa) ch is (.-.asexplained in reference 2)the estimated value fok“ a rigid unyaw
