3、ATTACK FROM 0 TO 90By Lysle P. ParlettSUMMARYAn investigation has been made to determine the effects of airspeedand angle of attack on the lift, drag, and pitching moment of a shrouded-propeller model, having a shroud length of about two-thirds the pro-peller diameter, over an angle-of-attack range

Theeffect of inlet-lip cross-sectional radius on the static-thrust charac-teristics was also studied. These tests were made in connection withthe de

6、rouded propeller. The firstof these types is termed the coleopter (refs. i and 2). The second isa small, simple, one-man vertically rising aircraft which is littlemore than an engine-driven shrouded propeller. This aircraft is oper-ated by a man standing on a platform above the propeller. Flight-tes

7、tresults for research vehicles tested in the development of this generaltype of aircraft are presented in references 3 to 6.

14、 in figure i. The basic model had ashroud 18 inches in internal diameter and 12.25 inches long which wasmade of glass fiber and plastic. A two-blade propeller, turned by a 5-horsepower variable-frequency electric motor, was located midway alongthe shroud. The clearance between the propeller tip and

15、the shroudwas 0.06 inch. Interchangeable inlet lips with cross-sectional diametersof 0.50, 1.00, 1.50, 2.00, and 3.00 inches were provided for the shroud.The tests were performed in the Langley free-flight tunnel whichhas a 12-foot octagonal test section. Inasmuch as the model was verysmall in propo

16、rtion to the size of the tunnel, no blockage or jet bound-ary corrections have been applied to the data. Tests simulating theforward-flight condition were made with the propeller set at a bladeangle of 8 at the three-quarters-radius station and rotating 6,000 rev-olutions per minute. The 0.50-inch-d

17、iameter lip was used in all the testsexcept those for static thrust. The angle of attack was varied from 0(thrust axis parallel to the airstream) to 90o in i0 increments. Tunnelairspeed was varied from 0 to 56 feet per second in increments of about7 feet per second. One test was performed over the s

18、ame angle-of-attackrange with the propeller removed at a constant tunnel speed of 56 feetper second.Static-thrust tests, using each of the several inlet lips, were con-ducted over a range of model propeller speeds from 6,000 to 10,500 rev-olutions per minute in increments of 1,500 revolutions per mi

19、nute. Thesestatic-thrust tests were made with the model thrust axis parallel to thetunnel axis in order to avoid the scatter in data caused by recirculationof the propeller slipstream when tests are run with the model crosswisein the tunnel.Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking

20、permitted without license from IHS-,-,-4 NACATN 3547RESULTSThe results of the forward-flight tests are presented in figures 2to 6. Since the propeller-off tests are intended to give someinfor-mation on the coleopter configuration without a propeller, the data arepresented in figure 2 as conventional

21、 coefficients based on forward speedin order that they maybe used for comparisons with other wings. Theresults of the tests for the propeller-on configuration are plotted asfunctions of both _ and V and are referred to both wind and bodyaxes in figures 3 to 6. These results are in dimensional terms

22、becausethe conventional coefficients becomeinadequate when the free-streamvelocity is zero, and there is no apparent advantage to using unfamil-iar coefficients.The results of the static-thrust tests presented in figure 7 indi-cate that efficiency increases with i_creasing lip cross-sectional diam-e

23、ter. As data for these tests were characterized by considerable scatter,the plots are the results of averaging data from several runs at eachtest point. The scatter was due primarily to the difficulty encounteredin measuring accurately the small momentsrepresenting motor torque andto the fluctuation

24、s in torque caused by the randomrecirculation of airin the tunnel test section.CONCLUDINGREMARKSAn investigation has been made to determine the effects of airspeedand angle of attack on the lift, drag, and pitching moment of a shrouded-propeller model over an angle-of-attack range from 0 to 90 . Tes

25、tswere made of the complete model with the propeller operating and alsoof the shroud and motor combination with the propeller removed. Theresults of static-thrust tests indicate that efficiency increases withincreasing lip cross-sectional diameter. Inasmuch as these tests weremade in connection with
