A rake of total-pressuretubeswas mounted on the support to measure the dynamic pressure.The investigationof the effects of the ratio of wing chord to pro- *peller dismeter was conductedwith a series of untapered wings constructedof l/2-inch plywood, with rounded leading edges and trailing edge

The two propeller blade angles corresponded to the condition of(maximum static-thrust efficiency .75R = 80) and to the condition ofhigh ratio of thrust to torque (.75R= 3“) “ The static-thrusteffi-ciency was determine

23、d by the method of reference 2, which indicated theefficiency of the isolated propeller to be 0.63 for .B.75R= 3.7 and0.70 for .jR= * When the blades were overlapped, the efficiencieswere reduced to 0.57 and 0.65 for j3.75R= 3.70 and , respectively.Effect of praeller blade le.- The effects of blade

With the 60-percent-chordflap deflected 60, two auxiliaryvanes were added to maintain flow over the airfoil. Figure 6(d) showsthat, for the same thr

25、ust, higher turning angles and generally higherratios of resultsnt force to thrust were obtained with a lower bladeangle. The static-thrustefficiency of the propeller, however, was con-siderably less at the lower blade angle, and in practical applicationthe mount of resultant force that can be obtai

The effects of propellerstatic-thrustefficiency are included in the data presented in figure 6(e).The values presented represent the ratio of force to thrust that wouldbe obtained if the propeller were X20-percent efficient. Figure

27、6(e)presents a comparison of the effects of propeller blade angle on thebasis of conftsmt power and indicatesthat the maximum turning snglesare obtained with the lower blade angle but the maximum resultant forceis obtained with the higher blade angle. It would be destiable, ofcourse, to obtain both

28、maximum turning angle and maximum resultant force.The dynsmic-pressure smveyof the propeller slipstream (fig. 7)indicates that the lower blade angle produces higher velocities near theroot of the blades. It maybe possible that increases in the turningangle can be effected if the propeller could be d

In addition, extra care should be taken tomlnbize the possibility of flow separation from the rear part of thenacelles.Effect of mode of propeller rotation.- A comparison of the result

31、and the inboard propelleris rotating in the opposite direction, higher lift coefficients areobtained. This mode of rotation (also used in refs. 1 and 2) resultsin better turning effectimness than could be obtained with the oppositedirection of rotation, as shown in figixre8(d).TWO factors probably c

32、ontribute to this result: With the outboardpropeller rotating in such a manner as to oppose the tip vortex, the tiplosses are reduced; therefore, the lift would be expected to increase.Also, with this mode of rotation there is an upflow on the part of thewing between the nacelles which produces an i

34、fig. 4). Figure 9 shows the effect of both the vertical andthe longitudinal location of the propeller relative to the wing. Theadvantage of loweri the thrust axis (parallelto the chord plane) isindicated in the pitching-momentdata of figure g(a) where the thrust-axis position z/R of about -0.25 is s

A direct comparisonof these data in coefficientform with those of the basic model would notbe appropriatebecause of the variations in wing geometry involved; there-fore,
