  12. "For most practical problems involving measurements of droplet impingement on cylinders, the compressibility effect may be ignored."

    From: NACA-TN-2903, "Impingement of Cloud Droplets on Aerodynamic Bodies as Affected by Compressibility of Air Flow Around the Body"

    The effect of the compressibility of air on the water-drop impingement calculations is found to be "negligible".

  20. I write about the (US) National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA) aircraft icing publications, 1918 to 1959. This is a lesser-known area of the history of science and technology.

    While my blog posts are technical, I will post here some of the interesting quotes and photos that I find.
    The NACA images are Public Domain, so use them as you wish.

  21. "It has been shown that the temperature of the surface of the wing in conditions of icing can be predicted with considerable exactitude from the temperatures measured in clear air."
