Description of series

Series 8 General Ground Effect 1923-1976, n.d.
extent: 4 boxes
description: This series is rich in correspondence (especially Box 40) and patent materials (Box 41) that relate to the phenomena of ground effect. The series also contains photographs (1959-1964, n.d.) of models (including Aeroskimmers and the Aerofoil) in a water tank and wind tunnel. A statistical sampling of the photographs was taken. The methodology used was 10% of each group were selected for retention. One folder of FAA publications and regulations is also included in this series.
