Abstract

An experimental investigation has been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of leading- and trailing-edge flaps on a flat and cambered wing at superconic speeds. Results from the experimental tests showed that highly complex and three-dimensional flow can occur over the wings with leading- and/or trailing-edge flaps deflected. An analysis of the data also showed that flap effectiveness varies significantly between a cambered and flat wing of identical planform and flap geometry. Mach number effects are similar for both flat and cambered wings for all aerodynamic parameters.
