A six-component force balance was used to obtain the aerodynamic performance of a NACA 23012 half-span wing model at low freestream speeds of 20 m·s-1 to 50 m·s-1. The half-span wing model is equipped with a leading-edge slat and a trailing-edge flap. The impact on aerodynamic performance by the slat and flap configurations of the half-span wing model is studied. Abundant high Reynolds number aerodynamic performance studies have been carried out on various well-known airfoil profiles, but low-speed aerodynamic performance studies are limited. This work will be used as a benchmark study to support researchers working on NACA 23012 airfoils or wings at low speeds.
