{\displaystyle y}

in poundals this becomes—
m

and for the aeroplanes in question,
A
=
.111
{\displaystyle A=.111}

{\displaystyle \quad c={\frac {.372^{2}}{.111\times 11.5\times .0546}}=1.98}
This is about the value as determined directly by Duchemin, Dines and Langley for the square plane; it is probably too low for a plane of
n
=

{\displaystyle n=4}
as used in these experiments.

{\displaystyle m=17^{2}\times (.875-17^{2}\ n)}
where

whence
m

{\displaystyle m=192.5}
or, when absolute units are employed,

{\displaystyle m=13.6.}

{\displaystyle c={\frac {.418\times .418}{.111\times 13.6\times .0546}}=2.11}
a result which is still probably less than the true value.
