The Distribution of Lift Over Wing Tips and Ailerons
This is a 1924 NASA technical report, issued through the NASA Technical Reports Server, presenting aerodynamic test results on wing lift distribution near tips and ailerons for aeronautical engineers. The pictures are pages of engineering graphs: pressure-distribution curves plotted against chord positions, streamline sketches over airfoil sections, and dense multi-line charts of lift and drag coefficients. A designer might take their stark black linework on pale paper and their grid-based chart layouts as a restrained model for technical diagrams.
