The Effect of Rivet Heads on the Characteristics of a 6 by 36 Foot Clark Y Metal Airfoil

NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) · 1933 · 4 pictures

This is a 1933 NACA technical note, issued by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, reporting wind tunnel tests of a Clark Y metal airfoil with and without rows of rivets on its surface, for aeronautical engineers. The pictures are plain engineering charts, photographs of the airfoil and its mounting in a large tunnel, and a close view of riveted metal, offering a designer little beyond graph styling, grid layouts and the look of industrial test documentation.
