Description
Summary:This thesis document was issued under the authority of another institution, not NPS. At the time it was written, a copy was added to the NPS Library collection for reasons not now known. It has been included in the digital archive for its historical value to NPS. Not believed to be a CIVINS (Civilian Institutions) title. === It was desired in this investigation to determine the effect of the chordwise position of dive recovery flaps on the left of a laminar flow, low drag, two-dimensional airfoil at high subsonic Mach numbers. Schieren pictures were taken to relate the formation, extension and strength of shock waves to the measured lift.
