Flight Tests on "King Cobra" FZ.440 to investigate the Practical Requirements for the Achievement of Low Profile Drag Coefficients on a "Low Drag" Aerofoil

F. Smith; D. J. Higton (1945)

This report describes measurements of profile drag made on the wing of the King Cobra aircraft, which has a low-drag profile of X.A.C.A. design. The profile drag was high with the original surface finish and although it ...
Flight tests on Hurricane II, Z.3687 fitted with special wings of 'low-drag' design

R. H. Plascott; D. J. Higton; F. Smith; A. R. Bramwell (1946)

This report describes flight tests to investigate the proNe-drag characteristics of a 'low-drag' section wing built by Armstrong Whitworth, Ltd., using a new type of construction of their own design. During the first series ...
The measurement of the overall drag of an aircraft at High Mach Numbers

D. J. Higton; R. H. Plascott; D. A. Clarke (1949)

This report describes the technique which has been developed to measure the overall drag of an aircraft at high Mach numbers in both level flight and dives. It shows how improvements have been made both in flight and tunnel ...
