Experimental determination of the thickness of the boundary layer along a wing section
This 1932 NASA technical report, drawn from the NASA Technical Reports Server, is an experimental aerodynamics study measuring how thick the boundary layer grows along an aircraft wing section. Its plates are engineering charts rather than decorative illustrations. The pictures show wing profiles above line graphs plotting boundary-layer thickness, pressure, and velocity ratios against chordwise distance, giving a designer clean, minimal diagram conventions: thin black curves, stepped grid lines, and labelled axes in mm and cm.
