RESULTS OF WIND TUNNEL TESTS OF A FULL SCALE FUSELAGE MOUNTED, TIP TURBINE DRIVEN LIFT FAN. VOLUME 2. ADDITIONAL 30 HOURS OF WIND TUNNEL TESTS. SEPTEMBER-DECEMBER 1960

Abstract

Analyses of the results are presented in considerable depth defining fan hover performance and variation with flight speed, comparing fan powered with basic aircraft performance and calculating various transition performance characteristics and configuration requirements for cases of maximum acceleration, maximum climb, controlled descent, unaccelerated level flight and short take off (with and without overloads).
