Lift characteristics and pressure distribution for a NACA 230 wing were investigated for an angle of attack range of from -10 to +24 degrees and Mach range of from 0.2 to 0.7. Maximum lift coefficient increased up to a Mach number of 0.3, decreased rapidly to a Mach number of 0.55, and then decreased moderately. At high speeds, maximum lift coefficient was reached at from 10 to 12 degrees beyond the stalling angle. In high-speed stalls, resultant load underwent a moderate shift outward.

Report presenting a description of an experimental model of a flight instrument that utilizes infrared radiations for detecting and indicating the location of clouds at night. A preliminary investigation is made of data in the scientific literature. A table and chart are developed that make it practical to determine the magnitude of the net exchange of radiation for any particular atmosphere of known composition and distribution of temperature.

Report presenting a consideration of the possibility of using conducting rubber as the conductor in aircraft ignition cable. The effects of stretch, temperature, and continuous and impulsive currents on the resistance of several conducting-rubber test strips of the same position were determined. Two types of experimental conducting-rubber cable were tested.
