AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A GENERAL TILT-WING/PROPELLER MODEL TESTED AT SLOW SPEEDS AND HIGH ANGLES OF ATTACK

Abstract

The aerodynamic characteristics of a general tilt-wing/propeller model were investigated at the Princeton Dynamic Model Tract Facility. The experiments included test conditions corresponding to free-stream velocities from slow backward flight through hovering and transition. Wing incidence angles ranging from 30 degrees (forward flight) to 90 degrees (hovering flight) were investigated. The experimental data are presented in graphs of lift, horizontal force, and pitching moment versus thrust in coefficient form based on free-stream velocity.
