Wind Tunnel Pressure Distribution Tests on a Series of Biplane Wing Models Part I: Effects of Changes in Stagger and Gap

This report is on the changes in forces on each wing of a biplane cellule when either the stagger or the gap is varied. Since each test was carried up to a 90 degree angle of attack, the results may be used in the study of stalled flight and of spinning as well as in the structural design of biplane wings.
