Derivation of empirical equation to fit experimental values of profile drag determined from N A C A tests on uniform-section rectangular airfoils at varying lift coefficients; determining profile drag of more general airfoil; induced drag is simplified and combined with profile drag to get complete expression for drag coefficient of tapered airfoil; relative merit of various planeforms.
