Lift and Drag Tests of Three Airfoil Models with Fowler Flaps Submitted by Consolidated Aircraft Corporation

Ira H Abbott, Harold R Turner

Abstract

Report presenting lift and drag tests made in the two-dimensional tunnel of three airfoil models. The models represented intermediate sections on alternative wings of the XB-32 airplane and were equipped with 0.30 Fowler flaps. Results regarding the Davis model, the C.A.C. model, and low-drag model are provided.
