Abstract
Symmetrical airfoils are of interest for all aerodynamic control surfaces such as rudders, elevators and ailerons.... An advanced airfoil properaly designed for a small flap deflection will be more promising, especially in cases where the flap is used for extended periods as for trim purposes.
