Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation at subsonic Mach numbers up to 0.9 to measure the root-mean-square variation of the normal forces on 27 NACA airfoil sections. The effects of thickness-chord ratio, camber, location of minimum pressure, and leading-edge radius were investigated.

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL) identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S. government agency technical reports. The mission of TRAIL is to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access to government technical publications regardless of form or format.
