A LIFTING SURFACE THEORY FOR WINGS AT HIGH ANGLES OF ATTACK EXTENDING THROUGH INCLINED JETS

摘要

Lifting Surface Theory for wings extending through propeller slipstreams based on the Rethorst Solution has been extended to en-compass the effect of jets inclined to the free stream flow. This extension permits the prediction of span wise lift distribution and induced drag of tilt-wing and deflected slipstream V/STOL aircraft over the entire flight spectrum, from hovering to cruise.
