At the request of the Army Air Forces, Materiel Command, tests were made in the two-Dimensional low-turbulence tunnel of a mode l submitted by Bell Aircraft Corporation as the tip section of the wing of the xp-63 airplane. " The model was a NACA 66, 2x-2l6 a = 0.6 airfoil section of 50-inch chord and made of dural according to standard sheet-metal practice. The model was fitted for an internal-balance aileron with a tab and a Frise type aileron. Several alterations of the skirts and balance on the internal- balance aileron were tested to obtain the various aerodynamic characteristics of the aileron.
