Summary: Tests were conducted in the Langley full-scale tunnel for a range of speeds from minimum stall speed to speeds at which it was possible to produce a load factor sufficient to cause wing buckling. Static aerodynamic and control data, wing-pressure-distribution data, wing-deflection photographs, and wing-guy-cable loads are presented. Results of the tests show that a maximum load factor of the order of 4.50 can be attained for a normal inflation pressure of 7.0 lb/sq in.
