Title
Experimental Low-Drag Test Panel on Douglas B-18
Full Description
In the spring of 1941 Langley installed an experimental low-drag test panel on
the wing of a Douglas B-18 airplane. The panel was fitted with suction slots and
pressure tubes for a free flight investigation of the transition from laminar to
turbulent flow in the boundary layer. The pressure at each tube was measured by
liquid manometers installed in the fuselage.
