Analysis of Empirically Determined Aerodynamic and Ram Coefficients for a Power-Augmented-Ram Wing-in-Ground Effect.

摘要

With the advent of a theory for power-augmented-ram wing-in-ground-effect vehicle performance,there is a need for detailed comparison with test data. This report presents a comparison of test data with theory,in particular,the determination of the effects of changes in vehicle geometry and cruising height on flight performance. Good correlation between theory and experiment has been achieved for lift and pitching moment,and correlation with drag is promising for some geometries. (Author)
