This report describes flight tests which were made with the Vought VE-7 airplane to determine the effects of flying close to the ground. It is found that the drag of an airplane is materially reduced upon approaching the ground and that the reduction may be satisfactorily calculated according to theoretical formulas. Several aspects of ground effect which have had much discussion are explained.
