They were previously held under a security status but are now unclassified. Some of these reports were not technically edited. All have been reproduced without change in order to expedite general distribution."FU"Originally issued May 1943 as Restricted Bulletin 3E31."FUIncludes bibliographic references (p. 13).Summary: An analysis was made to show the relative effectiveness of streamline external fuel tanks, a fuel tank in the form of a wing mounted in a biplane position, and auxiliary wing panels attached at the wing tips to increase the span as temporary means for increasing the rang of a fighter-type airplane. The airplane considered is a representative of either an Army or Navy single-engine heavy fighter. Figures and charts for the various devices considered show the results of calculations of range, duration of flight, and take-off distance for both land-base and carrier operation.Also available in electronic format.FUMode of access: Internet.AerodynamicsResearch.Fighter planesResearch.Wetmore, Joseph W.United States.National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.Langley Aeronautical Laboratory.01218315020120130153614.020121218000000.020171120114410.02017-11-20T19:57:40Z2014-05-22T20:00:04ZSDR-UFDCEX LIBRIS - ALEPHprepare.pl-004-007BKsdr-ufdc022538071ufl1SDRIUFLufl1.ark:/13960/t6xw5d36wFU022538071ia.emergencymeasure00langia.emergencymeasure00langFUIUFL20171120iaufl1.ark:/13960/t6xw5d36w1943pdbibUS fed docFUUFDC20251113googleufl.312620810653011943pdbibUS fed doc
