Three different types of ailerons, standard F.2B, Handley Page balanced, and Bristol "Frise," were fitted in turn to a Bristol Fighter airplane; for each type flights were made with and without loads on wing tips; airplane was flown straight with no bank, engine being switched off, and measurements were made of aileron angle, rudder angle, and lateral force on control column, from which calculations were made of rolling, yawing, and hinge-moment coefficients for three types of ailerons; effect on hinge-moment coefficient caused by setting ailerons up or down.
