About this book
NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) 19930091373: An Investigation of the Aerodynamic Characteristics of an Airplane Equipped with Several Different Sets of Wings
Author: NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)
Year: 1929
This investigation was conducted by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics at Langley Field, Va., at the request of the Army Air Corps, for the purpose of comparing the full scale lift and drag characteristics of an airplane equipped with several sets of wings of commonly used airfoil sections. A Sperry Messenger Airplane with wings of R.A.F.-15, U.S.A.-5, U.S.A.-27, and Gottingen 387 airfoil sections was flown and the lift and drag characteristics of the airplane with each set of wings were determined by means of glide tests. The results are presented in tabular and curve form. (author)
