Summary:

The logarithmic polar curve has for several years been used by the most prominent aerodynamical laboratories as well as by airplane manufacturers in Europe.

The vast possibilities of the method, when once thoroughly mastered and properly used, and the saving of time and expense involved in the analytical treatment of performance, amply justify its use. Any one who familiarizes himself with the method will, within a short time, find a large number of applications, not mentioned in this note, which, however, will come up in connection with airplane design. As examples, some additions to the original method which i have made myself and which may increase the usefulness of the method for performance estimation, are described and their construction shown.
