Memorandum presenting a procedure for reducing the interference pressure drag of the root and tips of sweptback wings. Experimental and theoretical pressure-drag values over a range of Mach numbers for configurations designed by the method were compared with the values of two similar configurations designed by the transonic and supersonic area-rule methods. Results regarding total drag, pressure drag, and drag comparison are provided.

From Introduction: "The present report is concerned with the characteristics of a body in the two-dimensional flow field of a circular-arc wing of rectangular plan form."

Report presenting wind-tunnel testing to evaluate the effects of wing fences and a tail on the longitudinal characteristics of a highly swept wing in combination with a fuselage. The model, which had a cambered and twisted wing with a leading-edge sweepback of 63 degrees and an aspect ratio of 3.5, was tested with fences of various shapes and swept and unswept horizontal tails. Results regarding exploratory tests, final-configuration tests, static longitudinal stability factors, and maximum lift-drag ratios are provided.

"Presented in this report is a summary of local and net angle-of-attack wing-panel loads measured in flight on six airplanes. In addition, a comparison of these loads measured in flight with calculations based on simple theory is presented" (p. 1).
