About this book
NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) 19930090785: Experiments on airfoils with trailing edge cut away
Author: NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)
Year: 1927
Airfoils with their trailing edge cut away are often found on aircraft, as the fins on the hulls of flying boats and the central section of the wings for affording better visibility. It was therefore of some interest to discover the effect of such cutaways on the lift and drag and on the position of the center of pressure. For this purpose, systematic experiments were performed on two different airfoils, a symmetrical airfoil and an airfoil of medium thickness, with successive shortenings of their chords.
