MUCH has been said earlier concerning the scale effect on drag. A few words must be added on the scale effect on lift near the stall, for it is here that ordinary small-scale wind tunnel tests may be very misleading. The curves of Fig. 9 show the maximum lift coefficient of two wing sections plotted against Reynolds number, and the difference of behaviour is at once apparent.
