Flight Measurements of the Low-speed Characteristics of a 35 Degree Swept-wing Airplane with Area Suction Boundary-layer Control on the Flaps
註釋Tests have been conducted to determine the flight characteristics of an F-86A airplane equipped with an area-suction boundary-layer-control system on the flaps, and to investigate the possible operational problems which may arise on a flight installation of boundary-layer control. The effectiveness of the flap was determined in conjunction with the normal slatted leading edge (open and closed) and a modified leading edge incorporating camber and an increased leading-edge radius. Measurements were made of the lift, drag, and to a limited extent, of the suction requirements. Performance computations were made to show the effect of boundary-layer control on take-off, climb, and landing. The results of the flight tests are compared with those of full-scale wind-tunnel tests of a similar installation on a model incorporating F-86 wing panels and a modified flap.
