"Drag tests were conducted in the N.A.C.A. full-scale wind tunnel on full-scale models of two Army Air Corps type A-6 landing lamps mounted on an 8 by 48 foot airfoil. Drag measurements were made with the lamps in the leading edge and attached to the lower surface at the 5 and 10 percent chord positions. The drag of the lamps when faired into the airfoil was also measured. The results show that at 100 miles per hour and at the angle of minimum drag of the airfoil the unaired lamps in the leading edge produced an increase in drag of 5.5 pounds and that the unaired lamps on the lower surface at either position increased the airfoil drag 22.5 pounds" (p. 1).

Note presenting tests in a wind tunnel to determine the control forces and air loads acting on split flaps. Clark Y wing models were used with two different sizes of full-span split flaps, one with a medium chord and one with a narrow chord. The results indicated that at angles of attack and flap deflections for maximum lift, the lift loads on the split flaps were only 5 percent and 9 percent of the total lift for the narrow and medium-chord flaps respectively.
