In order to ascertain the effectiveness of constant-chord lead- and trailiwdge flaps applied to such a uing, tests of a semispan model have been conducted in the Ames Moot pressure wind tunne

The tests were made at Mach nunibers of 0.20 and 0.30 and at a range of Reynolds numbers from 3,000,000 to 10,000,OQO. CL CD cnl sYME3oIs The following symbols are

Deflection of either of the trailing-edge flaps for the range of flap angles tested reduced the maxirm,m lift-drag ratio but improved the lift-drag ratio at the higher lift coefficients.

For the combinations of flap deflections tested, modification of the wing profile by rounding the ridges practically eliminated a soall scale effect evident in the pitchimment data at the higher lift coefficients.
