The effectiveness at high speeds of a 10-percent-chord plain trailing-edge flap on the NACA 65-210 airfoil section

This report contains the results of a high-speed wind-tunnel investigation of the effectiveness of a 10-percent-chord plain flap on the NACA 65-210 airfoil section. The results include an indication of the lift-producing characteristics and the effectiveness of the 10-percent-chord flap. From a comparison of the characteristics of the 10-percent-chord flap with those of a 20-percent-chord flap it was concluded that, although a reduction in flap-chord ratio from 0.20 to 0.10 lessens the severity of the effectiveness loss at supercritical speeds, the 20-percent-chord flap is more effective throughout the entire range of Mach numbers from 0.3 to 0.875.
