The Use of a Deep Electrolytic Tank as a Lifting-Surface Calculator

摘要

An investigation of a deep electrolytic tank, applied as a lifting-surface calculator, has been made. The reasons for the initial choice of apparatus, and its subsequent behaviour are detailed.nThe calculator was developed for use with the investigation of plane surfaces, plane control surfaces and a symmetrically cambered wing.nThe results have been compared with existing theoretical and experimental work. As a consequence, it seems that the calculator could be put to a more general use.
