Institution National Research Council Canada, Division of Mechanical Engineering Date 1949-12-31 Abstract A calculatlon of induced vertical velocity in front of wings with rectangular and elliptic loading was made, for the purpose of finding a sultable position for mounting an angle of attack indicator on a glider. Charts were compiled for certain spanwise stations which will give downwash contours where the downwash is small, and also, for different positions of the instrument on the glider, the downwash at the indicator as angle of attack changes.
