Applying the results of experiments on small models in the wind tunnel to the calculation of full-sized aircraft

NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) · 1922 · 5 pictures

This 1922 NASA technical report, compiled from wind tunnel experiments on small aircraft models, is a scientific paper for aeronautical engineers working out how model results apply to full-size aircraft. Its pictures are plain engineering charts of lift and drag coefficients plotted against angle of attack, with a few line sketches of a test apparatus; a designer might take from them the clean, gridded graph style and the curved line-and-marker plotting conventions.
