Flap effectiveness on subsonic longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of a modified arrow wingAn investigation of the subsonic longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of a modified arrow-wing model was conducted in the Langley 4- by 7-Meter Tunnel. This investigation addressed the effectiveness of the leading and trailing edge flap deflections of this model. The arrow wing was tested at a Mach number of 0.02 and at an angle-of-attack range from -4 deg to 24 deg. The results of the investigation showed that deflecting the leading edge and trailing edge in combination could promote an attached-flow condition at the wing leading edge. Also, the leading edge suction could be maximized over the complete lift-coefficient range by scheduling a combination of leading and trailing edge flap deflections.
