Wing performance issue

Hi guys,

I need to assess the performance of a wing when increasing the camber of the grid sections, getting at the end a more cambered tip. I do not take into account any high-lift devices (e.g., aileon) but probably the performance I seek is with respect to a conventional wing. Does anyone have any idea or papers on the subject?

regards,

J

jcmbl,
Check with Missisippi state university, Dr gus Raspet carried out several experiments on this subject.
He also built an aircraft that changed the camber of the wing with internal cranks. I believe it was called the Marvel.

You might want to try AVL which gives good estimates of wing performance
