Measurements were done using the 60º delta wing at a Reynolds number based on the centre line chord 8x10(5). Results indicated that the rounded leading-edge delta wing with 30º vortex flap deflection improves the lift/drag ratio at lift coefficients higher than 0.4, when compared with the sharp leading-edge flat delta wing. The effect of a trailing-edge flap with vortex flaps was also investigated.1963 bytes1302767 bytestext/plainapplication/pdfen-UKTechnical Report
