STOL Transport Thrust Reverser/Vectoring Program, Volume 1

Abstract

Existing data were reviewed for application to computer programs to predict TR/TV performance and evaluating TR/TV influence on the total airplane system. Three programs were developed: (1) Jet Trajectory and Spreading Program -- to predict the shape and trajectory of the TR/TV exhaust plume, (2) Reingestion Prediction Program -- to predict the onset of reingestion, and (3) TR and TV System Performance and effect TR/TV operation on engine stability margin. Static tests were conducted to determine multibearing thrust vectoring nozzle performance and blocker door geometry effects on annular cascade thrust reverser performance. Results were incorporated in the TR and TV System Performance Program. The programs provide relatively simple design tools to evaluate TR/TV performance and to determine potential exhaust flow interference and reingestion data to STOL transport configurations is limited. Low speed wind tunnel testing is recommended to obtain this type of data.
