the experimental error, the omission of this correction is apparently justified for all models which deviate appreciably from the con- ventional streamline forms. For example, on the float Fl the maximum possible correction for pressure drop at 58.7 f. p. s. is about 0.0007 pound, while the actual… … £0 30 40 SO 60 70 SO 90 Velocity, M.P.H. Fig. 1 SCALE EFFECT Taking the product of the velocity V by some characteristic length I as the "scale" the lift may be assumed to vary as the square of the scale. That is: £=ZL(FZ)2 (3) where KL is a constant for each model. The drag does not vary as the…
