Investigation at supersonic speed (M = 1.53) of the pressure distribution over a 63 degrees swept airfoil of biconvex section at zero lift
Report presenting an investigation of the distribution of pressure at zero lift over the surface of a swept airfoil of biconvex section. The measured pressures are compare with theoretical values calculated from thin-airfoil theory. Results regarding pressure distributions, drag, and boundary-layer studies are provided.

An Investigation of the Wing and the Wing-Fuselage Combination of a Full-Scale Model of the Republic XP-91 Airplane in the Ames 40-by 80-Foot Wing Tunnel
"Wind-tunnel tests of a full-scale model of the Republic XP-91 airplane were conducted to determine the longitudinal and lateral characteristics of the wing alone and the wing-fuselage combination, the characteristics of the aileron, and the damping in roll of the wing alone. Various high-lift devices were investigated including trailing-edge split flaps and partial- and full-span leading-edge slats and Krueger-type nose flaps. Results of this investigation showed that a very significant gain in maximum lift could be achieved through use of the proper leading-edge device" (p. 1).
