Description:
An exploratory low-speed wind-tunnel investigation of a pneumatic technique for LEX-induced lift augmetation on a low-aspect-ratio trapezoidal wing near C sub L, MAX is reported. The technique involved lateral sheet ejection from LEX edge-slots, with emphasis on nonsymmetrical blowing to obtain incremental roll control at high angles of attack when the aileron power is declining. Preliminary experiments on a pressure instrumented semispan wing model followed by force/moment measurements on a full-span LEX-wing configuration confirmed the effectiveness of LEX blowing for lateral control improvement up to an angle of attack of 45 deg and with a momentum coefficient of less than 02.
