Structural Design Considerations for Cold Thrust Augmentation Fighter Concepts.

摘要

The purpose of this report is to document progress to date on the structural design effort conducted by the Preliminary Design Group, Advanced Structures Branch, Structures Division, in support of a Prototype Division VISTOL Aircraft. The investigation of the use of the Cold Thrust Augmentation (CTA) principle on a VISTOL aircraft was limited to two Prototype Division generated configurations. One configuration involved a CTA pod located at the wing tip while the second configuration was a fuselage mounted CTA system.
