Description

Report presenting the results of an investigation made in the two-dimensional low-turbulence pressure tunnel of surface irregularities on a low-drag airfoil section. The primary objective was to determine the effects of riveted and piano-hinge-type skin joints and of an aileron slot of the drag characteristics. Any type of surface irregularities at the front spar were found to cause substantial increase in drag.
