TOP LEFT - INTERFERENCE OF FOLLOWING DISCS — TOP RIGHT, THEBODIES TESTED AT GOETTINGEN - BELOW, BODIES TESTED BY EIFFEL. 53 Streamline Shapes— In this class may be included bodies of fusi-form or streamlineform, shaped for least resistance. Their application to the design oftanks, fuselages, nacelles, hoods, etc., is of fundamental importance. In a most interesting set of experiments, conducted by M. Eiffel,on streamline shapes, illustrated in the diagrams and chart on p. 52,the bodies consist of a nose, a cylindrical central portion, and a results of the experiments show that: 1. The blunter the nose, the greater the resistance. 2. The shorter the central cylindrical portion is, for the samenose and tail, the lower the resi
