Abstract
Report presenting measurements of wing loads made on the left wing of the Bell X-1 research airplane. Data are presented within a wing-panel normal-force coefficient and Mach number range. Results regarding span load distributions, wing-panel aerodynamic characteristics, and wing-to-fuselage carry over are provided.
