Abstract:
Very little has been recorded during the war years as to the details of technique used in low-speed wind-tunnel tests. The size and type of tunnel used during this period will remain in use at firms and colleges for some time after newer equipment is available at research establishments, so it has been decided to issue some record of the technique in use at the Royal Aircraft Establishment during the war years, both with a view to establishing a standard technique where it is satisfactory, and to consider weaknesses where it has failed.
