Abstract
Four airfoils; NACA 23030, 23024, 23018, and 64
3
-618;
have been tested in the two-dimensional wind tunnel at
Wichita State University at angles of attack from zero to
360 degrees. The 23024 airfoil was equipped with a 20%
chord aileron and was tested at angles of aileron
deflection from -60 degrees to +60 degrees.
Airfoil characteristics in the form of coefficients of
lift, drag, normal force, and leading-edge suction force,
and coefficient of pitching moment about the quarter chord
are presented graphically in this report. In addition, the
data is tabulated in the appendix. Results of the aileron
study show that the aileron becomes ineffective as a wind
turbine aerodynamic braking device at angles of attack
above 20°. Recommendations for improving effectiveness are
included.
