Abstract

A wind-tunnel investigation has been made to determine the characteristics of external-flow jet-augmented double slotted flaps which appear suitable for application to airplanes with pod-mounted engines. The investigation included tests of the rectangular wing with an aspect ratio of 6 over a momentum-coefficient range from 0 to 28. Lift coefficients larger than the jet reaction in the lift direction were obtained with the external-flow jet-augmented double slotted flaps.

Effectiveness of Boundary-layer Control, Obtained by Blowing over a Plain Rear Flap in Combination with a Forward Slotted Flap, in Deflecting a Slipstream Downward for Vertical Take-off

The wing employed in this investigation had a 67-percent-chord slotted flap in combination with a 33-percent-chord plain rear flap equipped with a full-span blowing nozzle. The tests were conducted in a static-thrust facility at the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory. The investigation indicated that the plain rear flap alone with a low momentum coefficient for boundary-layer control provided larger turning angles than the combined slotted and plain flaps without boundary-layer control.

Exploratory investigation of the effectiveness of biplane wings with large-chord double slotted flaps in redirecting a propeller slipstream downward for vertical take-off

Results are presented from static-force tests on biplane wings with large-chord double slotted flaps which turn the slipstream of a single counter rotating propeller downward for vertical take-off. The investigation provided information on the effect of chord length, flap deflection, propeller position, end plates, fuselage, and ground proximity on the efficiency of the wing system in turning the propeller slipstream.
