Beschreibung:
As part of a general investigation in the NACA 19-foot pressure tunnel to determine stall characteristics and effectiveness of high-lift devices on wings of various sections, tests were made of a tapered. wing having NACA 44R-series airfoil sections. Lift, drag, pitching-moment, and stall characteristics were determined at a Reynolds number of 4,850,000 for the plain wing and for the wing with partial-and with full-span split flaps. The stall progressed slowly over The plain wing; a gradual loss of lift for angles of attack up to and beyond that for the maximum lift coefficient resulted. As Compared with the stall of the plain wing, the initial stall of the wing with either partial-span or full-span flaps deflected occurred at a higher angle of attack and the stall progressed much more rapidly. The maximum lift coefficients at a Reynolds number of 4,850,000 were 1.35 for the plain wing, 2.25 for the wing with partial-span flaps at 60 deg, and 2.67 for the wing with full-span flaps at 60 deg. The positions of the aerodynamic center, in terms of mean chords back of the leading edge of the root section, were approximately 0.458 with no flaps, 0.483 with partial-span flaps at 60 deg, and 0.498 with full-span flaps at 60 deg.
