The paper reports on the experiment conducted to measure pressure distribution on the wing consisting of a plain trailing edge flap. The changes in pressure distribution caused by the deflection of the flap are assessed considering integrated pressure across the chord giving lift co-efficient for varied combinations of angle of incidence and flap deflections. Flap effectiveness is calculated and compared to theoretical prediction.
