Summary:

This investigation was carried out to determine the precision of wing sections of wood fabric construction used on a number of airplanes. It was found that all wing sections deviated more or less from their respective prototypes. The mean thickness of the section was computed for those wings with a noticeable sag. The aerodynamic effects resulting from consideration of thickness variation are then estimated from existing empirical information. The rib, sag and specified measurements of fourteen sections investigated are given.
