On the distribution of lift along the span of an airfoil with displaced ailerons

NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) · 1924 · 1 picture

This 1924 technical report from the NASA Technical Reports Server, compiled from aeronautical research of the era, treats how lift is distributed across a wing span when ailerons are deflected, aimed at engineers and aerodynamicists. Its one picture is a set of line diagrams: a semicircular span with the aileron positions marked by angle and dimension, and three lift curves compared under beta equals 30 and 60 degree deflections, offering designers a clear model of how control surfaces shape a wing's load profile.
