SUMMARY

The effectiveness of a 30-percent-chord, 50-percent semispan inboard elevon as a longitudinal-and lateral-control device for a wing-fuselage combination employing a wing swept back 630 has been determined experimentally. The investigation was made at Mach numbers of 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, l., and 1.7 at a Reynolds number of 1.5 million. Data were also obtained at Reynolds numbers of 2.4 and 3.7 million to investigate dynamic-scale effects.

The results at supersonic speeds were compared with the experimental values obtained from tests conducted on a constant-percent-chord outboard elevon, and at subsonic speeds with data on a constant-chord outboard elevon. The lift effectiveness of the inboard elevon as indicated by (CL) was approximately twice that of the outboard elevon for the Mach nber range investigated. This greater effectiveness of the inboard elevon may be attributed both to the greater separation effects over the outboard region of the wing promoted by the spanwise flow of the boundary layer on the swept-wing panel, and to the larger effect of induced lift on the wing panel due to the deflection of the inboard elevon. The pitching-moment effectiveness of the inboard elevon was, in general, greater at supersonic Mach numbers and less at subsonic speeds than that experienced by the outboard elevons; however, longitudinal control provided by either elevon was not adequate.

Sufficient lateral control was achieved by either elevon (rigid wing assumed) at the supersonic Mach numbers investigated; however, the superiority of the inboard elevon as a lateral-control device at super-sonic speeds may be established by the fact that the effects of wing flexibility may reduce the rolling effectiveness of the outboard elevon as much as 50 percent from those for a rigid wing.

INTRODUCTION

For the past few years, considerable emphasis has been placed on the optimum spanwise location of flap-type control surfaces on swept-back wings. Tests at both subsonic and supersonic speeds (references 1, 2 ) 3, and Ii.) have shown that an outboard elevon on a 630 swept-back wing does not develop its potential effectiveness. Subsequent studies have indi-cated that the longitudinal-and lateral-control characteristics of an elevon on highly swept wings could be improved by placing the elevon in an inboard position where the effects of flow separation and elastic deformation of the wing would be less severe than for an outboard posi-tion. Accordingly, the characteristics of a wing similar to the wings of references 1, 2 .,-..and 3, but having an inboard elevon, have been investigated at Mach numbers of 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, l.-, and 1.7 to provide additional information on the optimum location of control flaps on highly swept wings. The results of this investigation are presented herein and are compared with the results of references 1, 2, and 3.

APPARATUS

Tunnel

The experimental investigation was conducted in the Ames 6- by 6-foot supersonic wind tunnel. In this wind tunnel, the Mach number maybe varied continuously from 0.6 to 0.95 and from 1.2 to 1.7 and the stagnation pressure can be regulated to maintain a constant test Reynolds number. Further information on this wind tunnel is presented in reference 5.

Balance

A four-component, electrical, strain-gage balance supported by a sting and enclosed within the fuselage of the model was used to measure the aerodynamic forces and moments of the model. The strain-gage bal-ances and instrumentation are described in detail in reference 1.

Model

The model used in the present investigation consisted of a wing-fuselage combination employing a wing of aspect ratio 3.5, taper ratio 0.25, and having 63° sweepback of the leading edge. Sections perpendic-ular to the leading edge were the NACA 0010. The wing was mounted cen-trally with 00 incidence on the fuselage. A sketch of the model showing plan-form dimensions is presented in figure 1. The wing-fuselage config-uration was identical to the plane wing-fuselage configuration used in references 1 and 2, except for the location of the elevon. For the present investigation, the elevon was located on the left wing panel and extended from the wing-body juncture to the 50-percent semispan station. The elevon was aerodynamically unbalanced and was hinged along the 70-percent wing-chord station measured parallel to the plane of symmetry. The areas of this elevon and the areas of the elevons of references 1, 2, and 3 are presented in table 1.

An electrical strain-gage hinge-moment balance was mounted in the left wing panel at the 70-percent semispan station. (See fig. 1.)

The model was sting mounted in the tunnel. (See fig. 2.)

TESTS AND PROCEDURE

Range of Test Variables

Measurements of the lift, drag, pitching moment, rolling moment, and hinge moment were made for Mach numbers of 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.4, and 1.7 at a Reynolds number of 1.7 million. An investigation of possible dynamic scale effect was made which included data at Reynolds numbers of 2.4 and 3.7 million at the above-mentioned Mach numbers. The angle of attack was varied from to the maximum positive angle attainable in Increments of 20 and experimental data were obtained for elevon deflec-tions of 00, ±100 1 ±200, and ±250.

Corrections to and Reduction of the Data

In the supersonic Mach number range, the test data were reduced and the corrections applied in the same manner as for references 1 and 2. For subsonic speeds, the effects of tunnel-wall interference, stream variation, and support interference have been fully discussed in reference 6. The corrections discussed in reference 6 were applied to the present data with appropriate modifications of the constants in the expressions for tunnel-wall interference. The values used in this test were:

= 0.581 CL

tCD = 0.0101 CL2

Precision of the Data

The uncertainties involved in determining dynamic pressure and in measuring forces with the strain-gage balance have been previously discussed in references 1, 2, and 7. The uncertainties of the measured aerodynamic parameters are given as follows:

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Reynolds Number Effect

The effect of Reynolds number on the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing-fuselage combination is presented in figure 3. These data were presented for 00 and 250 nominal elevon deflection at 0.9 and 1.1 Mach numbers and Reynolds numbers of 1.5, 2.4, and 3.7 million. 1 This prelim-inary investigation showed no marked scale effect on the basic parameters in this Reynolds number range. Therefore, the remainder of the test was conducted at a Reynolds number of 1.5 million.

Control-Surface Effectiveness

The aerodynamic characteristics at Mach numbers of 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, and 1.7 are presented in figure 4. (The data for 1.4 Mach number were omitted, except in the final figures, since the data at 1.2 and 1.7 Mach numbers show representative results.) Only representative test conditions were given in figure Ii. since elevon-deflection angles varied due to aerodynamic loading (as much as ±1.00 ); consequently, the data shown in figure 4 are for nominal elevon deflections of 0 0 and ±250 only. To present the data in a more usable form, CL, CD, Cm, Cj, and Ch were cross-plotted as a function of elevon-deflection angle (corrected for deflections under load) for constant angle of attack up to approximately l# and are given in figures 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The data in these figures are presented In 2 increments of angle of attack where clarity of the figures permits.

'Data were also obtained at 0.6, 1.2, and 1.4 Mach numbers, but were not presented since the data presented show representative results.

effectiveness parameters = 00 ) shown in figures 10, LI-i- and 15 which are con-control as measured by These figures present data

The discussion will be mainly devoted to the CLb, CM, Cb, Ch, and Cj (measured at ö 11, 12 and 13, respectively, and to figures cerned with the rolling effectiveness of the the attainable wing-tip helix angle, pb/2V. for deflection of two elevons.

Comparisons of the data of the present investigation are made with the data of references 1 and 2 for supersonic speeds in figures 10, 11, 13, lIl , and 15, and with reference 3 for subsonic speeds in figures 10 and 11. The data obtained from references 1 and 2 are for the same wing-body configuration, but with a 30-percent-chord, 50-percent semispan outboard elevon, and the data taken from reference 3 were for a comparable wing-body configuration with a constant-chord 50-percent semiapan outboard elevon.

Lift.- The variation of the lift-effectiveness parameter, CL, with Mach number is presented in figure 10. In the subsonic speed range, the data for the inboard elevon show somewhat higher values

Of CL5 throughout the angle-of-attack range at a Mach number of 0.9 than at a Mach number of 0.6. It may also be noted that the lift effectiveness increased with increasing angles of attack at each sub-sonic Mach number investigated. A comparison is shown in figure 10 of the results of reference 3 (constant-chord 50-percent aetnispan outboard elevon) with the data for the inboard elevon for 0 0 angle of attack at subsonic Mach numbers. The inboard elevon has approximately twice the lift effectiveness of the outboard elevon of reference 3. This differ-ence in CL5 may be attributed both to the greater separation effects over the outboard region of the wing promoted by the spanwise flow of the boundary layer on the swept-wing panel, and to the larger effect of induced lift on the wing panel due to the deflection of the inboard elevon.3

The inboard elevon showed a noticeable loss in lift effectiveness between a Mach number of 0.9 and 1.2. The outboard elevon showed only a small loss in lift effectiveness between the Mach numbers of 0.9 and 1.2.

2For the wing of reference 3, the airfoil sections in a streamwise plane were the NACA 64A006.

3The wing used in this investigation and in references 1 and 2 was very rigid, thus permitting no aeroelastic effects; however, the wing used in reference 3 was not so rigid - no attempt being made to measure the wing elasticity; consequently, the influence of aeroelasticity could account for some loss in lift effectiveness..

For the supersonic Mach numbers investigated, the data presented in figure 10 show a higher lift effectiveness for the inboard elevon than that for the constant-percent-chord outboard elevon of reference 1. The greater lift effectiveness of the inboard elevon may, as in the subsonic case, be attributed both to the relative decrease in separation effects along the inboard region of the wing, and to the larger effect of induced lift on the wing panel due to the deflection of the inboard elevon. Tuft pictures of the entire wing presented in reference 1 show complete flow separation (Bee reference 8 for discussion of separation) over the region occupied by the outboard elevon at all supersonic Mach numbers for angles of attack of 60 and greater; whereas the separation effects are shown to be much less severe over the region of the wing where the inboard elevon was located. These separation effects would seem to account for the greater effectiveness of the inboard control surface and the rapid decrease in lift effectiveness for the outboard elevon with increasing angles of attack at supersonic speeds. Figure 10 also shows that the lift effectiveness for both elevona decreased with increasing supersonic Mach number; however, the lift effectiveness of the inboard elevon decreased more rapidly with increas-ing Mach number than that of the outboard control surface.

Pitching moment. - The pitching-moment curves presented in figure Ii. exhibit a decrease in stability at the higher angles of attack which is primarily dependent upon the sweep angle and aspect ratio of the wing. (See reference 9.) A forward shift of the center of pressure of the load. on the wing as the angle of attack was increased occurred at a lift coef- ficient of the order of 0.35, depending upon the elevon-deflection angle and Mach number.

Figure 11 shows the variation of pitching-moment-effectiveness parameter, Cm8, with Mach number. For subsonic speeds, the pitching-moment effectiveness for the inboard elevon at a Mach number of 0.9 is greater than that at a Mach number of 0.6 for angles of attack up to 100 . The effect of increasing the angle of attack from 0 0 to 60 at a Mach number of 0.6 was to increase the pitching-moment effectiveness; whereas, at a Mach number of 0.9 1 Cm8 decreased with increasing angle of attack. A comparison of the data at 00 angle of attack with the data

of reference 3 (constant-chord outboard elevon) shows less pitching-moment effectiveness for the inboard elevon, a result that would be expected since the moment arm for the outboard elevon of reference 3 would be approximately four times that of the inboard elevon.

An Increase in pitching-moment effectiveness was noted between a Mach number of 0.9 and 1.2 for the inboard elevon. Since CL8 decreased between these Mach numbers, a rearward shift in the center of pressure of the load due to elevon deflection is indicated.

For the supersonic speeds, the data shown in figure 11 for the

inboard elevon indicate, generally, larger values of Cm 6 than that of

the outboard elevon. From the data in figure 11, it can be seen that both elevons exhibit losses in Cm with increasing supersonic Mach number at i° and 60 angles of attack, whereas the reverse was true at 100 angle of attack. The ability of either elevon to produce an incremental pitching-moment coefficient decreased with increasing angle of attack at 1.2 Mach number. This trend was sustained throughout the supersonic Mach number range for the outboard elevon; however, the data for the inboard elevon at a Mach number of 1.11 show an increase in Cm with increasing angle of attack up to 60 . At 1.7 Mach number, the data show an increase in C 1 up to 100 angle of attack.

An evaluation of the capabilities of the outboard elevon as a sole means of trimming a tailless airplane of the present configuration was made in reference 1. It was found that the longitudinal control pro-vided was inadequate for supersonic flight of this wing-fuselage, combi-nation. Since the inboard elevon indicated insufficient increases in C over that of the outboard elevon, additional means of providing longitudinal control would still be necessary for supersonic flight of this wing-fuselage combination.

Elevon hinge moment. - Figure 12 presents the variation with Mach number of the rate of change of hinge-moment coefficient with change in eLvon deflection, Ch8, for constant angles of attack, and with change in angle of attack, C, for constant angles of elevon deflection. The data show that, in general, the effect of increasing the Mach number was to increase the tendency for the elevon to return to the und.eflected. position.

Rolling moment. - The variation of the rolling-moment-effectiveness parameter, C, with Mach number is presented in figure 13. The effect of increasing the Mach number from 0.6 to 0.9 was to increase the rolling-moment effectiveness. An increase in C 1, with increasing angle of attack occurred at the subsonic Mach numbers investigated.

For the inboard. elevon, C1 8 increased between 0.9 and 1.2 Mach numbers, with the exception of the data presented for 10° angle of attack. Since a noticeable loss in CL6 and a gain in CM5 were also

observed through this speed range, an outboard and rearward movement in the center of pressure of the load occurred.

For the supersonic speed range, it is evident from the data pre-sented in figure 13 that the inboard elevon is more effective in roll than the outboard elevon. The variation of CZ 5 with Mach number for

the inboard control surface was similar to that of the outboard elevon; however, an increase in C1 6 for the inboard elevon occurred with increasing angle of attack up to 50; whereas for the outboard elevon, C15 decreased with angle of attack.

A good quantitative indication of 'the adequacy (reference 10) of an elevon as a lateral-control device can be obtained from computed values of the rolling-effectiveness parameter pb/2V . The variation of

pb/2V with Mach number is presented In figure 1 for 00 angle of attack. pb/2V

The values of 5 shown in figure 14 were calculated, utilizing the same values of damping-moment coefficient in roll, C j , for supersonic speeds as used in reference 2. At subsonic speeds, CZ was computed by the method of reference 11. Table 2 presents the values of CZ D used. (Reference 12 was used to obtain the values of average section iift coefficient required in applying the methods of reference 11.)

For airplanes capable of very high speeds, the maximum rolling velocity is believed to be more of a criterion of the required rolling performance 4 than pb/2V. A comparison of the pb/2V obtained from i-o° total elevon deflection at 00 angle of attack with that required to attain a rolling velocity of 2200 per second with a 40-foot-wing-span airplane flying at 60,000 feet is made in figure 15. The results show that either elevon in the supersonic speed range could be reduced in size if used as ailerons only (rigid wing assumed). Calculations of reference 2 indicated that, because of wing flexibility, as much as a 50-percent reduction in the outboard aileron effectiveness in roll from rigid-wing values could occur because of structural deformation. Consequently, the inboard elevon with its tendency for less structural deflection of the wing when deflected appears to be a better lateral-control device than the outboard elevon for this wing-fuselage configu-ration. (See also reference i-.) It should be noted also that the inboard elevon provided adequate lateral control within the range of subsonic speeds investigated.

4For the type of airplane under consideration, Army and Navy specifi-cations require a pb/2V = 0.09, or that the peak rolling rate need never exceed 2200 per second. (See reference 10.)

CONCLUSIONS

The results of the investigation of the effectiveness of a constant-percent-chord inboard elevon as a longitudinal-and lateral-control device for the 630 swept-wing body configuration, when compared with results for an outboard aileron, revealed the following:

1. The lift effectiveness of the inboard elevon as indicated by (CL) 0 was approximately twice that of the outboard elevon for the Mach number range investigated. This greater effectiveness of the inboard elevon may be attributed both to the greater separation effects over the outboard region of the wing promoted by the spanwise flow of the boundary layer of the swept-wing panel, and to . the larger effect of induced lift on the wing panel due to the deflection of the inboard elevon.

2. The pitching-moment effectiveness of the inboard elevon was, in general, greater at supersonic Mach numbers and less at subsonic speeds than that of the outboard elevon; however, longitudinal control provided by either elevon was not adequate.

3. Sufficient lateral control was achieved by either elevon for the supersonic Mach numbers investigated (rigid wing assumed). However, the superiority of the Inboard elevon as a lateral-control device at supersonic speeds may be established by the fact that aeroelastic effects due to wing flexibility may reduce the rolling effectiveness of the outboard elevon as much as 50 percent from that of a rigid wing.
