Maneuverability Investigation of the F6C-3 Airplane with Special Flight Instruments
This is a 1932 NASA technical report, an aeronautical engineering study by NASA's Technical Reports Server on the maneuverability of the F6C-3 airplane fitted with special flight instruments, written for aircraft engineers and test pilots. The pictures are plain line graphs of control deflections, angular velocities, accelerations and time traces, drawn on gridded paper with labelled curves over seconds of flight. A designer might take their clean, dense scientific chart layout, with grid rules, dashed and solid curve pairs and tiny serif labels, as a template for technical data graphics.
