THE EFFECT OF SIMULATED HIGH FORWARD SPEED ON A TWO-DIMENSIONAL GROUND EFFECT SUPPORT,

Abstract

Preliminary tests have been conducted to investigate the feasibility of using ground effect supports to provide suspension and propulsion of a vehicle at high forward speeds. The effects of simulated high forward speeds on the lift and drag of a two-dimensional ground effect support are correlated through a forward-speed parameter which is derived in this report.
