Economical method used in Germany before and during war; aircraft components were towed under water in large tank so that loads were produced on specimen equivalent to those realized under actual flight conditions; tests made on cabin hoods, tail planes and on one wing; future possibilities of testing whole aircraft and of air loads resulting from elastic deformation were automatically included in applied loading.
