dc.description.abstract This report describes the technique which has been developed to measure the overall drag of an aircraft at high Mach numbers in both level flight and dives. It shows how improvements have been made both in flight and tunnel technique so that comparisons between full-scale and model tests have now become possible. Flight results from Meteor IV aircraft show close agreement between drag measured in level flight and in dives and later tests compare well with high-speed wind-tunnel measurements on a 1/12th scale model. en_US
