Because the sectionprofiles were altered when the wing sweep was changed, theangle of attack for zero lift was changed with sweep.

14、rearward shift of the aerodynamic center with respect tothe cents of gravity.Stall,+ltaUing characteristics generally became 1sssdesir-able as the wing was swept back. The effect of sweep on thestalling characteristics as shown by the tuft behavior is pre-sented in iigures 8 to 10. The efFect of swe
15、ep with flapsneutral is shown in figure 8. It is seen that the point ofinitial stall moved outboard with sweepbnck. In the con-figuration with sweepforward, stalling started at the wing-fuselage juncture and moved outboard; in the configurationwith normal sweep, stalling started at approximately 50
16、per-cent of the semispan whereas, with sweepbacli, stallingstarted at 60 to 85 percent of the semispan and spreadinboard and outboard.Stalling occurred in approximately the same manner whenthe 65-percentispan flaps were deflected (. 9). Strong in-flow over and ahead of the ailerons was noted in each
17、 sweepconfiguration.The eflect of sweep on the stalling characteristics with thefull-span flaps deflected is shown in figure 10. In the con-figuration with normal sweep and full-span flaps deflected, astalled condition extending to 85 percent of the semispanoccurred very rapidly. Stalling again star
18、ted at the wing-fuselage juncture on the configuration with sweepforwardand full-span flaps deflected. An almost sudden still overthe outboard 50 percent of the semispan occurred withsweepback.For the cordigurations with normal sweep and sweep-forward the flaps, which were stalled at low angles of a
19、ttack,tended to nnstall and remain unetalled throughout the high-lift range. Flow behind the flap brackets was always poor;in addition, though the flap breaks were sealed, stallingoccurred at the flap junctures.Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from

24、L CHARACLTUUSTICS 477LATERAL CHAEACTEEISTIC9The results of the tests to determine the eflect of sweep onaileron control are presented in figure 11. Rolling-moment,yawing-moment, and lateral-force coefficients due to ailerondeflection have been corrected for model asymmetry. Theyaw-test data me prese
25、nted in figures 12 to 17 and cross plotsshowing the most signifhmt results are given in figures 18and 19.Effeat of flap deflection on 04.Deflection of the doubleslotted flaps mused anoticeable reduction in effective dihedral(fig. 19). For the normal-sweep condition, the loss in C% wasapproximately 0
26、.00066 or about 2%0 effective dihedral andwas affected only slightly by a ohange in flap span. Theeffect of partial-span split flaps on C% was feud to be n-gible (reference 2). It appears, therefore, that the effects offlap deflection on C4 depend upon the type of flap underconsideration. .Effeot of
27、 sweep on aileron effectiveness,-With the flapsneul, sweepback caused a reduction in aileron effectivenessamounting tQ approximately 10 percent, whereaa a slightincrease in aileron effectiveness was noted for the oonura-tion with sweepforward. There was little d.i.tlerenoeinaileron effectiveness wit
28、h sweep for the two arrangementswith flaps deflected. Little differences in yawing momentdue to aileron deflection with sweep were noted. Yawingmoment due to aileron deflection was adveme with flapsneutral, beoame favorable with partial-span flaps deflected,rmd was more adveme with the full-span fla

30、back increaaed the eilective dihedral for all flap conditions.The increase in effective dihedral ailorded by the changefrom sweepforward to sweepbaok varied from less than 2for flaps retraoted and high speed to more than 9 for full-span flaps deflected and low speed.%veepback noticeably reduced the
31、loss in eilective dihe-dral caused by deflection of the full-span flaps. The lossdue to deflection of the full-span flaps averaged approxi-mately 40,”2ji0, and 1 for sweeforward, normal sweep, andmveepback, respectively. The combination of sweepfor-ward and full-span flaps deflected resultid in an e
32、ffectivedihedral of approximately 1.A further advantage of sweepback is shown by the factthat the effective dihedral increases with lift coefficient forall three flap conditions with sweepback. Inasniuch as theadverse effect of power on dihedral effect ordinarily increaseswith decreasing airspeed, a
33、 favorable power-off variationof C4 with 6!Z as shown by the sweptback wing would behigldy desirable. With normal sweep and sweepforward,U,t remained essentially constant over the C-range for thetwo arrangements with flaps deflected; with flaps retracted,however, a less desirable variation existed;
34、that is, C4 de-creased with incensing lift coefficient.Directional stability.A consistent increase in the un-stable directional-stability slope Ca$ of ,-the wing-fuselagecombination accompanied increasing chhedral. The in-s4311c-5 tip deflection, however, almostcompletely erased the eilect. Sweep ap
35、parently had noeffect on Cy+.CONCLUSIONSWind-tunnel teats of a wing-fuselage combination in-corporating NACA 65-series airfoil sections were made todetermine the effects of small angles of sweep and moderateamounts of dihed.rid on stalling and lateral characteristics.The following conclusions may be
36、 drawn from the results ofthese tests.:1. Sweepback caused an appreciable increase in positivedihedral effect; sweepforward caused a reduction. “2. The increase in dihedral efTect caused by sweepbackvaried favorably with air speed, in that it increased with lift coefhcibt.3. Deflection of double slo
37、tted flaps resulted in a notice-able reduction in effective dihedral; sweepback decreased andsweepforward increased this eifect.4. Sweepback moved the point of initial stall outboard andcaused a slight increaae in maximum lift caeflicient.5. Sweepback causd a reduction in aileron effectiveness ofapp
38、roximately 10 percent with tips neutral. With partial-or full-span tlaps deflected, sweep caused no noticeable ohangein aileron effectivenew.6. Standard theoretical methods for predicting the effectsof dihedral changes on lateral- and directional-stability de-rivatives appear valid and unaffected by
39、 changes in wingsection. For the”wing plan form used in the present tests,an increase in the lateral-stability derivative C+ of 0.00026per degree change in geometrio dihedrid angle was noted.Increasing dihedral increased the directional instability ofthe wing-fuselage combination.7. The effects of d
40、ihedral on the remaining aerodamiccharacteristics appeared to be unimportant. The presenttests indicnted a slight inorease in the value of maximum liftcmflicient with increasing dihedral. Increasing dihedralalso caused a slight increase in the value of the lateral-forcederivative Cr with flaps retra
