AN INVESTIGATION OF PROPELLER SLIPSTREAM EFFECTS ON V/STOL AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE AND STABILITY

Abstract

Specific areas investigated include wing stall during transition, minimum wing size for stall-free transition, and the effects of slipstream on aircraft pitching moments. In addition, a stability analysis was performed, and analog computer techniques were used to determine the feasibility of utilizing the slipstream for stability augmentation. Finally, the effects of the nonuniformity of slipstream velocity and wing geometry modifications on performance were analyzed.
