AERODYNAMICS OF A RECTANGULAR WING WITH A PERIPHERAL JET FOR AIR CUSHION TAKE-OFF AND LANDING

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0623827 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Subsonic wind tunnel experiments on a GETOL wing are reported. The main results relevant to performance, stability and control are presented, and applied to a hypothetical vehicle. Short-field capability is demonstrated to be possible. Stability and control problems are analysed, and shown not to be prohibitive.
