Transient analysis of energy Transfer Control (ECT) and compressor bleed concepts of remote lift fan control

The transient performance of two concepts for control of vertical takeoff aircraft remote lift fans is analyzed and discussed. Both concepts employ flow transfer between pairs of lift fans located in separate parts of the aircraft in order to obtain attitude control moments for hover and low-speed flight. The results presented are from a digital computer, dynamic analysis of the YJ97/LF460 remote drive turbofan. The transient responses of the two systems are presented for step demands in lift and moment.

Steady state analysis of Energy Transfer Control (ETC) and compressor bleed concepts of remote lift fan control

Two new concepts of control for VTOL aircraft remote lift fans are analyzed and discussed. Both concepts employ flow transfer among lift fans located in separate parts of the aircraft in order to obtain attitude control moments in hover and low-speed flight. The results presented are from a digital computer analysis of the YJ97/LF460 remote drive turbofan, although qualitative conclusions should apply to any remote fan system. The basic operating principles of the two systems are described, and their steady-state moment generating capabilities are discussed. Lift-recovery strategies for component failures are also analyzed.

Performance of vortex generators in a Mach 2.5 low-bleed full scale 45-percent-internal-contraction axisymmetric inlet

Steady-state and dynamic flow characteristics associated with two sets of vortex generators having different mixing criteria were determined. The inlet performance with and without these vortex generators is presented. The vortex generators were successful in eliminating separation, increasing area-weighted total pressure recovery, and decreasing distortion. Transmission times obtained from cross-correlations of the wall static pressures and the diffuser exit total pressure showed no effect of the upstream flow characteristics on the diffuser exit pressures when generators were used. Without generators, separation occurred and the upstream pressure characteristics had immediate effects on the diffuser exit pressure characteristics.

Design of an air ejector for boundary-layer bleed of an acoustically treated turbofan engine inlet during ground testing

An air ejector was designed and built to remove the boundary-layer air from the inlet a turbofan engine during an acoustic ground test program. This report describes; (1) how the ejector was sized; (2) how the ejector performed; and (3) the performance of a scale model ejector built and tested to verify the design. With proper acoustic insulation, the ejector was effective in reducing boundary layer thickness in the inlet of the turbofan engine while obtaining the desired acoustic test conditions.
