In order to show the effects of the variation in C a rolling condition must be coneidered, and if the aileron balance is to be of the conventional, sealed, internally balanced type, the parwtors and PR also must be considered. The comblne3 effect of these parameters for am aileron having varlous

The hFnge-monent parameters of the aileron with varying amounts of balance were calculated by means of the following equations : . . . -. . . w pR 6 a 3 balance balance C =c ha with ha without balance balance where the span of the balance was assuned
