Pressure distribution on fuselage of airplane model

NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) · 1925 · 4 pictures

This is a technical report from NASA's Technical Reports Server, dated 1925, on wind-tunnel tests of pressure distribution along the fuselage of an airplane model, with and without a wing. The pictures are engineering line drawings and charts: a fuselage and wing plan with dimensions in millimetres, a wing section profile with a rounded leading edge, a tapered wing layout, and a graph of pressure coefficients against pressure hole number at several angles of attack. A designer could take from them the clean, sparse line-drawing style of early aeronautical diagrams and the plotted-data layout.
