Results are presented of brief flight tests of the aileron characteristics of the XP-60 airplane with internally balanced, sealed ailerons, which were developed by the NACA for use, particularly, on low-drag-type wings. The results show that light and effective aileron control was obtained without evidence of overbalance or undesirable shaking of the control system at any part of the deflection range within the level-flight speed range.
