Summary:

The few tests made up to now in the Variable Density Wind Tunnel with wing sections show the great value of this type of wind tunnel for gaining information about wing sections valuable for use in aeronautical practice. Several new and good wing sections have been found. it has further been demonstrated that similar research work in ordinary atmospheric wind tunnels gives results less reliable. The results on scale effect show the need of extensive systematic research along that line.
