About this ebook

The manner in which the effects of thickness on the lift distribution are calculated in NACA Report 833, 1945, has been modified to increase the accuracy of the calculation of the load distribution, due to camber and angle of attack, on airfoil sections of arbitrary camber and thickness. Comparison of theoretical and experimental distributions are presented. The results show that the modification improves the predictions of lift distributions for both angle of attack and camber.
