From Summary: "A method is outlined for determining in flight the weight rate of air flow to the engine equipped with a Bendix-Stromberg injection-type carburetor. The method has the advantage that no additional equipment need be inserted in the charge-air system and only a few simple measurements are necessary. The analysis of an air-box calibration of the carburetor to be used in interpreting the flight measurements is shown by an example.

Large variations in speed were observed during testing, so additional testing and analysis was carried out to determine the effects of various factors that were suspected of contributing to the inconsistency of the plane's performance
