A program to evaluate a control system based on feedback of aerodynamic pressure differentials. Part 2: Data report for phase 1 wind tunnel testWind tunnel test data are presented. The purpose of the test was to determine the sensor location for sensitivity to flap deflection and to determine the range required of the sensor. The calculations followed to correct the raw pressure measurements, the corrected measurements, which represent the static pressures along the airfoil surface, and the static pressures tabulated and in coefficient form are described. However, the chordwise locations of the upper and lower surface taps do not coincide. An interpolation routine is performed to find the lower surface pressure coefficients at the upper surface tap locations. The difference, C sub P(lower) - C sub P(upper), is calculated and listed and the data are reorganized with respect to each tap location. A numerical regression performed to quantify the slopes of the graphs allows more accurate comparison of sensitivity and linearity.
