Development of tailless and all-wing gliders and airplanes
A 1932 NACA technical memorandum (No. 666) issued by NASA's Technical Reports Server, presenting a page of diagrams on the development of tailless and all-wing gliders and airplanes for aeronautical engineers and researchers. The page is rotated sideways, and its pictures are small line drawings of wing and body planforms with numbered parts. A designer could take from them a clean, technical vocabulary of simplified aircraft silhouettes, arranged in a grid of comparison views.
