Results of test made in NACA 20-ft wind tunnel; possibility of obtaining further improvements in L/D by using thinner airfoil sections and by employing tapered blades with tip chord smaller than root chord; results also demonstrate necessity for study of effect of blade twist on rotor characteristics.
