Tunnel-wall corrections to rolling and yawing moments due to aileron deflection in closed rectangular wind tunnels / by Donald J. Graham.

A method is developed for calculating the tunnel-wall corrections to rolling and yawing moments due to aileron deflection on models in closed rectangular wind tunnels. Graphs are presented which permit a rapid determination of these corrections for models mounted in 7- by 10-foot or 8- by 12-foot wi...

Description
Summary:A method is developed for calculating the tunnel-wall corrections to rolling and yawing moments due to aileron deflection on models in closed rectangular wind tunnels. Graphs are presented which permit a rapid determination of these corrections for models mounted in 7- by 10-foot or 8- by 12-foot wind tunnels. The method is so developed that the corrections may be calculated for the deflection of either aileron alone or both ailerons simultaneously.
