Notes on the construction and testing of model airplanes /
In most wind tunnels the construction and test of a model aerofoil or fuselage is standardized, but in the endeavor to secure a non-turbulent air flow and great refinement in force measurements, the general requirmements for construction and tests of model airplanes or seaplanes have been neglected....

| Summary: | In most wind tunnels the construction and test of a model aerofoil or fuselage is standardized, but in the endeavor to secure a non-turbulent air flow and great refinement in force measurements, the general requirmements for construction and tests of model airplanes or seaplanes have been neglected. The following notes are intended to supplement Mr. F. H. Norton's paper on "The Construction of Models for Tests in Wind Tunnels" (NACA Report No. 74). It will be shown that the construction of an airplane model can and should be simplified in order to obtain the most reliable test data |
