Wind-tunnel investigations were made in pitch and yaw with and without split flaps. Presence of the fuselage had negligible effect on values of maximum lift coefficient and slope of lift curve, but caused a destabilizing shift in the rate of change of pitching moment with lift. Effects of fuselage position on drag characteristics were small for wings without flaps, but were appreciable when split flaps were on.
