TL;DR: In this article, boundary-layer transition and profile-drag analysis on an experimental lowdrag wing installed on a P-47 airplane designated the XP-47F and supplied by the Army Air Forces is presented.
Abstract: Report presenting a boundary-layer transition and profile-drag investigation on an experimental low-drag wing installed on a P-47 airplane designated the XP-47F and supplied by the Army Air Forces. Measurements were made at a section outside the propeller slipstream with smooth and with standard camouflage surfaces and on the upper surface of a section in the propeller slipstream with the surface smoothed.

TL;DR: Low-drag underwater submerged lifting bodies which can be used as underwater displacement portions of a vessel whose main hull is at sea level are asymmetrical and have improved lift to drag ratios as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Low drag underwater submerged lifting bodies which can be used as underwater displacement portions of a vessel whose main hull is at sea level are asymmetrical and have improved lift to drag ratios. The lifting bodies have outer surfaces whose shapes are defined in plan and elevation by generally parabolic curves which are different on opposite sides of the lifting bodies.
