Summary

This paper describes a first attempt to establish the order of magnitude of finite aspect ratio effects for jet-flap wings. Lift, pitching moment, and drag results are presented from pressure-plotting measurements on a jet-flap model of aspect ratio slightly less than three. These experiments were complementary to two-dimensional tests carried out at the National Gas Turbine Establishment.
