Flight Investigation of Boundary-Layer and Profile-Drag Characteristics of Smooth Wing Sections of a P-47D Airplane
Description:
Report presenting a flight investigation made of boundary-layer and profile-drag characteristics of smooth wing sections of a P-47D airplane. Measurements were made at three stations on the wing: boundary-layer measurements, pressure-distribution measurements, and wake surveys. The results indicated that a minimum profile-drag coefficient of 0.0062 for the smooth section at 63 percent semispan was obtained.
