This note presents the results of flight pressure distribution tests on the right upper wing panel of a Douglas M-3 airplane equipped with a semicircular wing tip. The results are given in tables and curves in such form that the load distribution for any normal force coefficient within the usual range encountered in flight may easily be determined.

The effects of scale and turbulence on the lift and drag of five airfoils, the N.A.C.A. 0006 , the N.A.C.A. 0021, the Clark Y, The U.S.A 35-A, and the U.S.N. P.S.6, hve been investigated in the Variable Density Wind Tunnel. Tests were made over a wide scale for only two different conditions of turbulence.
