Ground simulation and tunnel blockage for a swept, jet-flapped wing tested to very high lift coefficients
Ground effects experiments and large/small tunnel interference studies were carried out on a model with a 20 inch (50.8 cm) 25 degree swept wing. The wing is slatted, has a 60 degree knee-blown flap and can be fitted with unflapped tips. A tail rake of pitch-yaw probes can be fitted to the fuselage. Certain check tests were also made with a very similar straight-wing model.
