A three-view drawing of the model is shown in figure 1 and photo- graphs of the model over the moving ground plane are shown in figures 2 and 3. The vertical cable shown

21、in the photographs was attached to the model near the moment center and to a counterweight outside the test section. (See fig. 4.) Without the counter- weight, the model weight would have exceeded the load capacity of the balance. The cable passed over pulleys, allowing vertical movement of the coun

Boundary-layer control was obtained by blowing over the flaps from nozzles in the wing. High pressure air was brought to the model through tw

The two outboard engines were not powered since they were outboard of the deflected flaps. 3 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduct

Boundary-layer buildup on the moving ground plane could be prevented by making the belt velocity approximately equal to the free-stream velocity. TESTS AND CORRECTIONS Tests were

28、 made with the model at heights from the ground plane of 10 to 69 per- cent of the model span. Landing-wheel touchdown is at a height of 9.4 percent span. The angle of attack ranged from -4O to 160 with the model out of ground effect and from 00 to 8O at the position nearest to the ground plane. Mos

29、t of the data were obtained with the flaps deflected 600 though some were obtained at deflections of 30 and 70. Various combinations of engine thrust and blowing over the flaps were used throughout the range of heights over the ground plane. The jet flap blowing coefficient Cp was varied from 0 to 0

A few tests with the model at various heights and several tests with the model close to the ground plane (h/b = 0.10) were made with the ground plane stationary to determine the effect of the moving ground plane. The height of the model was meas

However, these restraints or other factors have produced some scatter in the basic data. Longitudinal Aerodynamic Characteristics Over Moving Ground

44、Plane The effect of the ground plane on the model longitudinal aerodynamic characteris- tics is shown in figures 5 to 8. Only a few runs at various heights were made without thrust or flap blowing at a flap deflection of 300 (fig. 5). At a flap deflection of 70 (fig. 6), data were obtained at all mo

45、del heights through the flap momentum range and at zero thrust. The remainder of the basic data at a flap deflection of 600 included the effects of height, thrust, and blowing momentum. Comparison of figures 6(a) and 8(a) indicates little difference between the out-of-ground effect data for the mode

46、l with a flap deflection of 600 and those for the model with a flap deflection of 700. The 70 flaps are a little more effective in ground effect. In either case, the model usually shows a larger lift coefficient in ground effect than out of ground effect at zero angle of attack. However, the fact th

47、at this condition is reversed when the tail is removed (fig. 7(a) indicates that the increased lift in ground effect at a! = Oo is largely a result of the reduction in down load on the tail as it encounters ground effect. Thus, the change in lift-curve slope at various model heights (figs. 6(a) and

48、8(a) results primarily from the ground effect on the tail. An analysis of the incremental pitching moments resulting from the tail without flap blowing (figs. 7 and 8) indicates that at high angles of attack the down load on the tail out of ground effect becomes an up load as the model moves close t

49、o the ground. The preceding discussion was with reference to the model without flap blowing. With flap blowing, the lift coefficients are substantially increased (about doubled at a! = Oo) in or out of ground effect, and the major effect of the ground on the model is a result of the effects of the ground on the wing rather than on the tail. With the tail off or on (figs. 7 and
