- Summary:
- The drag of a Sperry Messenger airplane with the wings removed, and also the drag of its various component parts, was measured in the 20-foot air stream of the N.A.C.A. propeller research tunnel at air speeds from 50 to 100 M.P.H. It was found that the three cylinder radial air-cooled engine nearly doubled the drag of the bare fuselage; and the drag of the landing gear was about the same as that of the fuselage and engine combined.
