 Abstract

This note considers some of the special problems of wind tunnel testing wich arise in high-lift work. Discussion is confined to current experience in the R.A.E. end N.P.L. low-speed wind tunnels, and refers mainly to tests on blowing over flaps or jet-flaps. Comments are made on suitable size of model, methods of feeding compressed air into models without affecting balance readings, and general test technique. Methods of model construction are not specifically discussed.
