dc.description.abstract	The development of special smooth wing constructions for laminar-flow aerofoils calls for a simple testing technique to check the suitability of these new designs. In the method now used a short parallel length of wing bounded by ribs is tested under uniform bending with torsion and internal pressure superimposed when necessary. A standard specimen and standard testing technique are described. A review of the existing instruments for measuring surface irregularities is included.	en_US
