Part I - Inventing the Future Parabolic metal airfoil, span = 3
inches, chord = 1.5 inches. The piece sticking out is a hook,
used, presumably, to attach the foil to a stand in the wind
tunnel. This is one of a collection of thirty-eight original
model airfoils used in the December 1901 wind tunnel
investigations. In the collection, the object is number "54," as
the numbers are not sequential. Now, back to The Airfoils. [
