Critical Reversal Speed

Abstract

THIS article is intended, firstly, as a means to a quick approximate determination of the critical reversal speed of a wing, and secondly to give a clearer insight of why approximations can be given for the general formula for determining K, when the aileron chord and wing chord are of linear taper at least over the aileron portion.
