WER-10: Feasibility study of aileron and spoiler control systems for large horizontal axis wind turbines

Wentz, W.H.; Snyder, Melvin H.; Calhoun, J.T. (Wichita State University. Center for Energy Studies, 1979-11)

Studies have been conducted to determine the feasibility of using aileron or spoi ler controls as alternates to pitch control for large horizontal axis wind turbines. The NASA MDO-O machine was used as the basis for this ...
WER-32: Summary of control effectiveness of vented deflector-ailerons

Snyder, Melvin H.; Wentz, W.H.; Cao, Hoa V. (Wichita State University. Center for Energy Studies, 1987-07)

An NACA 64 3-621 reflection-plane airfoil panel equipped with a 38% chord aileron was tested in the WSU 7 X 10 ft. Walter Beech Memorial Wind Tunnel. Combinations of three different designs of ailerons and six aileron ...
