The recent posts on radiator installations reminded me of an old
question.

Does anyone have any information wing or shoulder radiator installations
similar to that done for the DeHavilland Mosquito.

I'm curious how effective they were and how much they would
affect any laminar flow on modern wings?

Unfortunately I don't have any data right at the moment but I will
scan some from Hoerner Fluid Dynamic Drag. (Good book to buy used.)

Also check NASA  T reports 743 1942
"""""""""""""""  L report L-407 1943
'''''''''''''''  T Note 3126 1954

I am sure it would screw up the flow aft of the outlet somewhat.
I could not have been too bad as the DeHavilland Mosquito was very
fast.

Here also is a picture of the combined rad outlet and wing
flap on an Me109. The Me109 also had a rad partially buried in the wing.
