Description: The film opens with a definition of lift, drag, the angle of attack, and the chord of the wing. Various forms of airfoils are shown. Wind tunnels, their development and their uses. The set-up of a wing form in the wind tunnel and the procedures used to measure the various forces applied to it are illustrated. An explanation and study of these leads to the development of various formulae expressing the relationship between lift, drag, wing area, wind velocity, thrust, and weight.
