Leading edge retraction as a high lift device
A two-dimensional investigation was carried out in the Merril Wind Tunnel at the California Institute of Technology to determine the effect on low speed lift of retracting the leading edge of a thin, circular-arc airfoil. Several configurations were tried, some with a spanwise slot milled into the...
