Abstract:

An exploratory investigation of the jet deflection characteristics of a jet-flapped airfoil with Coanda deflection surfaces was performed. Velocity distribution and flow angle measurements were made with the jetflap in static operation. Flow visualization tests were used to determine the turning characteristics in incompressible flow.
