DYNAMIC STABILITY DERIVATIVES OF A JET TRANSPORT CONFIGURATION WITH HIGH THRUST-WEIGHT RATIO AND AN EXTERNALLY BLOWN JET FLAP

摘要

The investigation was conducted to determine the dynamic stability derivatives of an externally blown jet-flap transport configuration having clustered inboard pod-mounted engines and full-span triple-slotted flaps. The results showed that the model had positive damping in pitch, roll, and yaw up to the stall angle of attack. The application of power resulted in an increase in pitch damping at High angles of attack and a moderate increase in yaw damping for the higher flap deflections but had no consistent effects on roll damping. For a given level of total engine thrust, the damping derivatives were generally not affected by frequency or by having one engine inoperative.
