Tours. Although there was hope that the "war of nerves" waged by Italy and Germany might drag on through the summer without a major crisis, Germans and Italians were busy power-politicking on a half-dozen other fronts. Starting at Aachen on the Belgian frontier, Führer Hitler demonstratively inspected the reputedly impregnable 400-mile steel and concrete Limes Line (also called West Wall) on the French border, pronounced it good. II Duce wound up a tour of the Italian-French border with a more threatening speech against France than he had previously made on his tour...
NACA's research director, Dr. George William Lewis, was proudest of a new wing developed during the past year. Approximately one-half the drag, i.e., the speed-killing characteristic, of the modern airplane is caused by its wings. Most of the wing drag is caused by air friction along the surface which, as the plane speeds through the air, changes from a smooth or laminar flow near the leading edge to a tumbling, churning turbulence farther back on the wing...
NACA's engineers have succeeded in designing a wing which has laminar flow over virtually its entire surface. The result: reduction of the wing drag by about...
