Determination of the Profile Drag of an Airplane Wing in Flight at High Reynolds Numbers
Description:
Report presenting flight tests to determine the profile-drag coefficients of a portion of the original wing surface of an all-metal airplane and a portion of the wing made aerodynamically smooth and more nearly fair than the original section. Tests were also carried out to determine the point of transition from laminar to turbulent boundary layer and to determine the velocity distribution along the upper surface of the wing.
