Summary:

In the light of this study, it appears that the wind tunnel test is a very useful tool in performance calculation, and that, at the very least, a wind tunnel test made on a conventional model for the investigation of stability and balance should be made to provide information on probable performance as well. if carefully applied, the prediction of performance from such a model test should be more accurate than the result secured from any formula, and should not compare very unfavorably with the product of the most exhaustive and careful computation by the usual process of summation of partial drags.
