Vergleichsmessungen an laminarflugein mit starrer und flexibler wolbungsklappe

Abstract

Many of the modern high performance sailplanes are equipped with trailing edge flaps which permit the adaptation of the wing section shape of the glider to a certain extent to the different requirements in the condition of climbing in a thermal and gliding between thermals....  This paper presents comparison tests of a rigid and flexible flap on two otherwise identical wings....
