Full-scale Wind-tunnel Research on Tail Buffeting and Wing-fuselage Interference of a Low-wing Monoplane

NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) · 1933 · 6 pictures

This is a 1933 NACA technical note, issued by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics in the United States for aeronautical engineers and researchers, reporting full-scale wind-tunnel tests of a low-wing monoplane. The pictures show photographs of a McDonnell airplane with fillets, trailing-edge modifications and an engine cowling tested in the wind tunnel, with captioned figure plates. A designer could take from them the close-up, plain documentary look of engineering photographs, with bright metal surfaces, rigid support struts and dark shadowed hangar backgrounds.
