Book Description
Summary: Some of the effects of pusher-propeller operation on the aerodynamic characteristics of a flapped wing were measured in the Langley propeller-research tunnel. The effects of propeller operation on the lift and profile drag of the wing, on pressure distribution, and on the position of boundary-layer transition were obtained. The results indicated that, at fixed angles of attack and with flaps deflected, the wing lift increased appreciably with increasing thrust coefficient. With flaps retracted, no appreciable increase in lift with increases in thrust coefficient was measured. Chordwise pressure distributions at several spanwise stations indicated that the effect of propeller operation was greatest in the region immediately ahead of the propeller and that the effect extended out-board from the propeller axis for about 2.5 propeller radii. Measurements of boundary-layer velocity on the forward part of the upper surface of the wing showed no appreciable shift of transition in the range of thrust coefficients investigated.
