Pressure Distribution on a Slotted R.A.F. 31 Airfoil in the Variable Density Wind Tunnel

Description: Measurements were made in the variable density wind tunnel to determine the pressure distribution over one section of a R.A.F. 31 airfoil with a leading edge slot fully open. To provide data for the study of scale effect on this type of airfoil, the tests were conducted with air densities of approximately one and twenty atmospheres.

Correcting Engine Tests for Humidity

Description: Note presenting tests using a multicylinder engine to determine the effect that atmospheric humidity has on some phases of engine performance. Three test series with different types of fuel were carried out. The results indicate that failure to allow for the effect of differences in atmospheric humidity may introduce errors as great as would be occasioned by failure to allow for changes in barometric pressure.

Investigation of the Effect of the Fuselage on the Wing of a Low-Wing Monoplane

Description: Memorandum presenting the mutual action of wing and fuselage, which greatly affects the construction of airplanes. A description of systematic wind-tunnel tests that were made to answer that question is provided. Other tests deal with the transition from fuselage to wing root, which, if inadequate on low-wing monoplanes, may become dangerous by causing the air flow to separate at the wing root.
