About this book
NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) 19930081033: Full Scale Drag Tests on Various Parts of Sperry Messenger Airplane
Author: NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)
Year: 1928
The drag of a Sperry Messenger airplane with the wings removed, and also the drag of its various component parts, was measured in the 20-foot air stream of the N.A.C.A. propeller research tunnel at air speeds from 50 to 100 m.p.h. It was found that the three-cylinder radial air-cooled engine nearly doubled the drag of the bare fuselage, and the drag of the landing gear was about the same as that of the fuselage and engine combined.
