NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) · 1930 · 6 pictures

This is a 1930 NACA Technical Note, issued by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, reporting full-scale wind tunnel drag tests on parts of a Fairchild FC-2W2 cabin monoplane for aeronautical engineers. The pictures are grainy black-and-white photographs of the aircraft mounted in a large tunnel, with parts removed one at a time, such as the fuselage, landing gear, wing and engine, shown in stacked three-panel plates. A designer could take from them the diagrammatic clarity of stacked sequential figures with numbered captions.
