Tests showed that, although slot-tip ailerons did not have lag normally associated with plain spoilers, they were rather slow in developing full amount of rolling moment and therefore imparted sluggish motion to roll of airplane; tests in full scale tunnel showed that drag due to open slot was excessive, but tests in 7 by 10-ft tunnel revealed that drag could be reduced by modifying slot shape.
