Wind-tunnel tests have been made to investigate the possibility of reducing the hinge moments of a control surface by beveling the trailing edge. The tests were made with a 9-percent-thick airfoil having a 30-percent-chord plain flap. A faired beveled shape, 5 percent of the airfoil chord in width a...
