3、d Edward C. pOhS211USSHYA method is presented for estimating the lift due to flap deflectionat low angles of attack in incompressibleflow. lh this method provisionis made for the use of incremental section-liftdata for estimating theeffectivenessof hh-lift flaps. The method is applicable to swept wi
4、ngsof any aspect ratio or taper ratio. The present method differs from%. other current methods mainly in its ease of application and its moregeneral application. Also included is a simplifiedmethod of estimatingthe lift-curve slope throughout the subsonic speed range.a71a15INTRODUCTIONAlthough sever
5、al methods are currently avaibble for estimating theeffectivenessof flaps on wings of various plan forms (for examplerefs. 1 to 4), they are generally restricted to small flap deflections;and furthermore each method has certain reservations in its application.For example reference 1, which is a semi
6、enrpiricalapproach, is limitedto specificwing plan forms and flap-chord ratios within the range ofexperimentaldata used as well as to small flap deflections. In addition,both references 1 and 2 may require considerablemanipulation to obtainvalues for a particular plan form.The present method attempt
7、s to combine the various existing methods into a simple procedure that has more general applications than any one .of them alone. Section lift data are used as a basis of the calculations,and this approach provides a means of estimating the increments of liftdue to high-lift flaps at large deflectio

The method is there-fore bas
13、ed on the use of a section lift increment Act, either theoreti-cal or experimental. The basic concept used inACL = Ck (c+= 8KbSince it is desired to use either a theoreticalof Acz in the method and sinceAcl = CZa (UJC7 multiplying the right-hand side of equation (1)givesthe method is(1)or an eqerime
14、ntal valueby A and flap deflection in the streamdirection 51 is used, since this plane is used for measuring the angle ofattack. Several investigatorshave proposed that the section data shouldbe referred normal to some sweep line since this conceptwouldbe inagreementwith that used in the simple swee
15、p theory. For airfoils in therange where the profile has a negligible effect on section characteristics(thinwith small trailing-edgeangle), the two methods give identicalresults for constant-percent-chordflaps on relatively untaperedwings.For highly taperedwings the present method somewhat simplifie
16、s the-.4difficulties,with regard to flap-chord ratios in the vicinity of theroot and tip, that are encountered in the simple sweep theory. In viewof this simplificationand the fact that wings of current interest arerelatively thin, the use of section data relative to the airplane centerline is belie
17、ved to be warranted. Since the values of Act are the basisof the method, the final results will be only as accurate as the sectiondata; thereforeuse of experimentaldata is advisablewhen such areavaiable.The aerodynamicAerodynamic duction Factorinductionfactor C! if a. differs appreciably from 2x, th
18、e term should be com-chputed from equation (3)by using the most appropriate value of a.0 available. The choice of A=/2 rather than the more commonly usedhowever, figure 9 shows that when the curves are made symmetricalby useof the half-chord line for the sweep reference, relatively little dis-placem
19、ent due to taper ratio occurs. Also, in the modified lifting-linemethods such as the Weissinger method, taper effects are dependent uponthe sweep and the relative position of both the quarter-chordline(bound-vortexlocation) and the three-quarter-chordline (boundary-condition location). This fact sug
20、gests the possibility that wirigshaving the ssme sweep of the intermediateor half-chord line might beless affectedby taper than those having some other common sweep line.Accuracy of MethodThe preceding results indicate that equation (A2) may be applicableto all plan forms, providing the sweep of the
