Preliminary results of drag tests; full-size wires tested over wide range of speeds in N.A.C.A. high-speed tunnel; results include any compressibility effects encountered at higher speeds; they also show how protuberances may be employed on conventional streamline wires to reduce drag and how conventional wires compare with others having sections more like strut or symmetrical airfoil sections.
