An investigation has been conducted in the Langley 8 foot transonic pressure tunnel to determine the effects of differential and symmetrical aileron deflection on the longitudinal and lateral directional aerodynamic characteristics of an 0.087 scale model of an NASA supercritical wing research airplane (TF-8A). Tests were conducted at Mach numbers from 0.25 to 0.99 in order to determine the effects of differential aileron deflection and at Mach numbers of 0.25 and 0.50 to determine the effects of symmetrical aileron (flap) deflection. The angle of attack range for all tests varied from approximately -12 deg to 20 deg.
