| 内容記述 | Results from a broad NASA research program are presented. The intention of the program was to obtain fundamental aerodynamic information regarding the effect of heavy rain on airplane performance. The take-off and landing characteristics are of particular concern, and the aim of the program is to understand the physical phenomena associated with any aerodynamic performance penalty that may occur during a rain encounter. This overview includes results of recent attempts to measure high-intensity, short-duration rainfall, a discussion of some of the earlier analytical investigations of rain effects on airfoils, a review of some promising experimental methods for evaluating rain effects, and some important scaling considerations for extrapolating model data. |
