An Investigation of the Fundamental Parameters which Govern the Aerodynamics of Various Wing-Propeller Combinations as Related to Vectored Slipstream Aircraft

摘要

Experimental investigation of propeller slipstream interaction on a heavily flapped wing. Aspect ratio, propeller diameter, solidity, thrust axis position, and propeller plane are varied to investigate the fundamental parameters which govern the wing-propeller combination. A method for analytically determining the lift and drag of a wing propeller combination is also presented.
