Drag measurements at high Reynolds numbers of a 100-inch-chord NACA 23016 practical construction wing section submitted by Chance Vought Aircraft Company

Albert E Von Doenhoff, Robert J Nuber

Abstract

Report presenting drag measurements in the two-dimensional low-turbulence tunnel of an available 100-inch-chord model of the NACA 23016 wing section. Results regarding the curves of section drag coefficient plotted against Reynolds number for various surface conditions and lift coefficients, variation of drag coefficient with lift coefficient, and effects of skin friction are provided.
