Extract

In the past few years, two problems in applied aerodynamics have received much attention. The first is the problem of low drag in which it is desired to reduce considerably the drag of aerofoils over a certain range of lift coefficient by suitable design and construction. The second is the problem of increasing the lift in which it is desired principally to obtain a higher maximum lift coefficient.
