The Transition Phase in the Take-Off of an Airplane
A 1938 NASA technical report on the transition phase of an airplane take-off, published by the NASA Technical Reports Server and aimed at aeronautical engineers. The single picture is a technical line graph plotting vertical distance against horizontal distance in feet, with solid, dashed and dotted curves for no wind, wind with gradient, and gradient alone, and weight labels of 2,060 and 2,800 pounds. A designer might borrow its clean grid, labelled axes and restrained three-line palette for an information graphic.
