Maximum Lift Data for Symmetrical Wings: A Resumé of Maximum Lift Data for Symmetrical Wings, including various High‐Lift Aids

Abstract

We shall attempt here to summarize the existing data on the values of the low‐speed CLmax. of wings, in the absence of a fuselage, and without including information on stalling incidence or pitching moment. The summary is limited to the consideration of unswept wings, and those of delta plan form, which have symmetrical sections: there is some discussion of the maximum lift increments due to the use of flaps of various kinds.
