Wind tunnel testing for lightplane designs is expected to play a far more important role in future lightplane engineering than it has in the past. NACA has been asked by CAA to make its tunnels available to lightplane companies for improvement of existing designs. Probably an even greater factor in increased future lightplane tunnel tests, will be the entrance into the lightplane field of larger companies, which have been designing for years with exhaustive wind tunnel tests for larger planes. Above: A wind tunnel model of the Big Dipper, experimental two-place Lockheed pusher plane, undergoing airflow investigation in a tunnel uses wool tufts on fuselage and wing to give visual pattern of flow.

Possible Pusher Version of Jet-Propeller Plane: Two views of a model prepared by NACA engineers to illustrate the possible application of the jet-driven propeller to personal planes, show a tailless plane, which somewhat resembles the early Waterman Aerobile, with airscoops in the wing leading edges to feed air into the propeller. A pusher with twin tailbooms could be used equally well.
