Distribution of pressure on fuselage of airplane model: communication from Rijks-Studiedienst voor de Luchtvaart of Amsterdam
This is a 1922 technical report from the NASA Technical Reports Server, originally produced by the Rijks-Studiedienst voor de Luchtvaart of Amsterdam to document pressure distribution on an aircraft fuselage model. The pictures are plain line diagrams: a side elevation of a cylindrical fuselage with a vertical strut and a front view with two small circular fittings, drawn in sketchy hatched strokes that suggest airflow and surface contour. A designer could take from them the clean, schematic way engineers of the period showed stress or pressure flow over a curved body.
