The Bristol "Badminton" Airplane
A 1926 NACA Aircraft Circular from the NASA Technical Reports Server, documenting the Bristol Badminton airplane, a British single-engine biplane, for an aeronautical research audience. The first picture is a photographic view of the aircraft, and the second is a set of technical drawings with plan, elevation and dimensions. Designers could take the sharp contrast between the photographed biplane and its diagrammatic engineering drawings, with their dashed construction lines and labelled measurements.
