METHODS OF CALCULATING AERODYNAMIC LOADS ON AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES: PART III - EFFECTS OF ENGINES, STORES AND WING-TAIL INTERFERENCE.
Abstract
Methods are presented for calculating aerodynamic interference loads on aircraft components. The report treats wing-tail interference, effects of stores and effects of engines. In the first part, a simple method is proposed for calculating the load distribution on the tail in the presence of wing and fuselage. Next, a modified image method is described for calculating interference loads of wing-body-store combinations. The last part deals with the aerodynamic interference effects on lifting surfaces in the presence of either a propeller slipstream or a jet slipstream. General effects of small flow disturbances on aircraft loads are also considered briefly. (Author)
