Book Description
The general objective was to collect and analyze aerodynamic stability and control data for the XV-4B, XV-5A, and P-1127 VTOL configurations. Correlation and analysis of existing model data were made to investigate hover and transition characteristics. Particular emphasis was placed on the aerodynamic power effects, sometimes referred to as interference effects. Other areas of investigation were sometimes referred to as interference effects. Other areas of investigation were nondimensional coefficients used to present VTOL data and wind tunnel test techniques. Wind tunnel tests were conducted using an inlet only model and a jet only model to investigate special test and analysis problems for these components. The agreement between different sets of XV-4B model data was, in general, found to be poor. However, the nondimensional coefficients used by Lockheed to reduce to XV-4B model data appear to be valid parameters for this category of VTOL airplane. The jet entrainment flow was shown by experiment to be the primary cause of the XV-4B power effects, and the XV-4B jet path was experimentally and theoretically determined.

Identification and Correlation of the F-4E Stall/Post-Stall Aerodynamic Stability and Control Characteristics from Existing Test Data

Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
The report documents the results of a study performed for the United States Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory to identify the high angle of attack post stall aerodynamic stability and control characteristics of the F-4 aircraft from existing full scale and radio-controlled drop model test data and to correlate these results with similar characteristics obtained from wind tunnel tests. A parameter identification procedure was set up to extract these nonlinear characteristics from flight test records using a nonlinear iterated Kalman filter/fixed-point smoother algorithm and a least square equation error method. Model form is established from wind tunnel data by representing the aerodynamic coefficients by Taylor's series expansions for selected ranges of angle of attack. (Modified author abstract).

Pages : 506
Book Description
A program was conducted to obtain data, both steady state and dynamic, from wind tunnel models and full scale flight tests of the RA-5C aircraft. Data were acquired on 0.228 and 0. 125 scale RA-5C inlet models and on a fully instrumented flight test RA-5C aircraft. Interim data reports presenting the data acquired during each test have been published. These data were utilized in this report to develop scaling techniques for correlating small scale model wind tunnel data with full scale flight data. Data presented include duct steady state operating characteristics and pressure distributions in the inlet and at the engine face. Dynamic data are presented in the form of engine face turbulence contour plots, radial turbulence distributions and selected spectral data functions. Data are presented for variations of angle of attack, angle of yaw, Reynolds number, ramp angle, secondary flow rates and inlet diverter width. Brief descriptions of the model and test methods are also presented.
