Abstract
A brief description of the GA (W) -2 Airfoil Flight Test Evaluation Program is presented. Employing an economical approach to airfoil flight testing, the GA (W) -2 airfoil was “gloved” on the existing wing structure of a Beech Model C23 “Sundowner”. Program objectives, experimental approach, research aircraft modification and instrumentation, data acquisition and processing, flight operations, and preliminary flight test results are described.
