Wind-Tunnel Investigation of a Rectangular NACA 2212 Airfoil with Semispan Ailerons and with Nonperforated, Balanced Double Split Flaps for Use as Aerodynamic Brakes

Flat-plate flaps with no wing cutouts and flaps having Clark Y sections with corresponding cutouts made in wing were tested for various flap deflections, chord-wise locations, and gaps between flaps and airfoil contour. The drag was slightly lower for wing with airfoil section flaps. Satisfactory aileron effectiveness was obtained with flap gap of 20% wing chord and flap-nose location of 80 percent wing chord behind leading edge. Airflow was smooth and buffeting negligible.
