Summary:

Force tests on a systematic series of wing systems over a range of angle of attack from minus forty-five degrees to plus ninety degrees are covered in this report. The investigation was made on monoplane and biplane wing models to determine the effects of variations of tip shape, aspect ratio, flap setting, stagger, gap, decalage, sweep back, and airfoil profile. Effects produced by the variables are given in a preliminary form by a series of comparative curves, to be followed at a later date by a complete report on the tests.
