Effect of propeller slipstream on wing and tail
Description:
The results of wind tunnel tests for the determination of the effect of a jet on the lift and downwash of a wing are presented in this report. In the first part, a jet without rotation and with constant velocity distribution is considered - the jet being produced by a specially designed fan. Three-component, pressure distribution, and downwash measurements were made and the results compared with existing theory. The effect of a propeller slipstream was investigated in the second part. In the tw…
