Abstract
Abstract Boundary-layer characteristics are of interest not only because of their effect on airplane wing drag and lift, but also because of their intimate relation to the “interference drag” which so far has received relatively little attention from the standpoint of boundary flow. For this reason the author encouraged Charles B. Lyman, a postgraduate student at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, to initiate experimental work which might lead to this objective. Accordingly, the contents of this paper are based on the results of this thesis investigation which was carried out under the general supervision of the author during the college year 1934–1935. Due to lack of space and time many of the test data cannot be presented, but an attempt will be made to cover the more important and interesting results of the investigation.
