Investigation for improving flow conditions about wings by applying suction principle, namely, increased lift coefficient and reduced drag about very thick wing sections; wings hitherto considered unfit for use in airplane construction, owing to thickness and angle of attack, were so far improved by suction as to become technically usable; all accurate methods of measurement failed when applied to non-lifting flow about symmetrical thick sections. From Luftfahrtforschung, June 11, 1928.
