Summary

Summary: Data are presented to show the changes that occur in the spanwise load distributions on wings when the critical Mach number is exceeded. These data indicate that the magnitude of the changes in spanwise load distribution varies with the magnitude of the spanwise variation in the critical Mach numbers of the sections. Means of reducing the magnitudes of such changes are considered.

Note

"NACA WARTIME REPORTS are reprints of papers originally issued to provide rapid distribution of advance research results to an authorized group requiring them for the war effort. 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."
