Validation Study of the V/STOL Aerodynamics and Stability and Control Manual.

Abstract

The methods contained in the VSTOL Aerodynamics and Stability and Control Manual for the prediction of propulsion induced aerodynamics of V/STOL aircraft in the hover and transition flight regimes were validated against four different V/STOL aircraft configuration. Manual prediction of the induced lift and pitching moment resulted in good correlation with test data for all configurations. (Author)
