1938 NACA film (airfoils)

I thought this forum might appreciate this. (Reminds me of a classic Tatra logo, too.)

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.

Pop used to go to the NACA when you could submit your air foil for testing and have it named for you if it was significant. He was 17 in 1938.
