High-speed Aircraft
This is a 1934 NASA technical report on high-speed aircraft, compiled from aviation research material for engineers and aeronautical readers. The pictures show period airliner and racing plane photographs alongside three-view drawings, speed graphs, propeller-efficiency charts and fuselage cross-sections. A designer could draw on the streamlined monoplane silhouettes, the clean three-view line drawings and the technical plate layouts for a retro aviation look.
