Abstract: Report presenting tests to determine the damping in roll and aileron rolling effectiveness of three wings with different degrees of sweepback. The results showed that the values of damping in roll decreased with increasing sweepback. The rolling effectiveness of the aileron of the sweptback wing was found to be predicted with fair accuracy from static aileron-rolling-moment tests and wing-damping tests.
