The comparison of well-known and new wing sections tested in the variable density wind tunnel

Three groups of airfoils have been tested in the variable density wind tunnel. The first group contains three airfoils. The second group is a systematic series of twenty-seven airfoils. The third group consists of several frequently used wing sections.

The Estimation of Airplane Performance From Wind Tunnel Tests on Conventional Airplane Models (open access)

The Estimation of Airplane Performance From Wind Tunnel Tests on Conventional Airplane Models

Calculations of the magnitude of the correction factors and the range of their variations for wind tunnel models used in making aircraft performance predictions were made for 23 wind tunnel models. Calculated performances were compared with those actually determined for such airplanes as have been built and put through flight test. Except as otherwise noted, all the models have interplane struts and diagonal struts formed to streamwise shape. Wires were omitted in all cases. All the models were about 18 inches in span and were tested in a 4-foot wind tunnel. Results are given in tabular form.
