3、MARYAerodynamic force tests were made in the N.A.C.A. 7by 10 foot wind tunnel on a model Clak Y wing with a 20percent chord split flap deflected 60 downward. Thetests were made to determine the effect of partial-spansplit flaps, located at various pos5tions along the wing -span, on the aerodynamic c

4、haracteristics of the wtng-anii-flap combination. The different lengths and locations of9the flaps were obtained by cutting off portions of a full-span flap, first from tho tips and then from the center9The results are given in the form of curves d-flif%,drag, and center of pressure. They show that

5、with partial-*span split flaps both the lift and drag are less than withfull-span flaps; that the lift for a given length of flapis somewhat greater when the partial span is located atthe center of the wing than when it is located at the tipportion; and that the drag for a given length of flap isthe

6、 same regardless of the location of the flap with re-spect to the wing span.INTRODUCTIONAmong the devices for increasing the maximum lift andalso the drag of an airplane to improve the landing char-acteristics, is the split trailing-edge flap. With thisarrangement the rear portion of the wing is spl
