Modification of wing-section shape to assure a predetermined change in pressure distribution

NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) · 1935 · 4 pictures

A 1935 NASA technical report, reproduced from a technical memorandum series, on modifying wing-section shape to produce a set change in pressure distribution, written for aerodynamic engineers and researchers. The pictures are line graphs of pressure coefficients and complex-plane loci, plus a circle-plane sketch mapping a cambered airfoil profile with dashed and solid contour variants, giving designers a sense of how small shape changes shift the lift and pressure curves.
