An investigation of the effects of the sudden extension of a dive-recovery flap on the aerodynamic characteristics of a symmetrical airfoil in two dimensional flow

This report presents the results of an investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics of the NACA symmetrical laminar flow 65,1-012 airfoil. The model was tested with and without a dive recovery flap. The effects obtained by suddenly extending the flap are compared to those obtained with the flap...
