Spanwise lift distributions have been calculated for nineteen unswept wings with various aspect ratios and taper ratios and with a variety of angle-of-attack or twist distributions, including flap and aileron deflections, by means of the Weissinger method with eight control points on the semispan. Also calculated were aerodynamic influence coefficients which pertain to a certain definite set of stations along the span, and several methods are presented for calculating aerodynamic influence functions and coefficients for stations other than those stipulated. The information presented in this report can be used in the analysis of untwisted wings or wings with known twist distributions, as well as in aeroelastic calculations involving initially unknown twist distributions.

Report presenting a transonic investigation made by the free-fall technique of a plane wing and a cambered and twisted wing, each with an aspect ratio 6, taper ratio of 0.5, and a sweepback of 45 degrees. Measurements were made of the loads on the exposed wings, pressures on the fuselage in the vicinity of the wing, and acceleration and angle of attack of the complete model.
