| 内容記述 | An investigation was made to determine some of the effects of various arrangements of slotted and round jet exits on the lift and pitching-moment characteristics of a rectangular-base model at zero forward speed. Jet-exit slots near the perimeter of the model usually gave larger lift-thrust ratios than slots nearer the center line when the model was near the ground, but away from the ground perimeter jets forming almost a closed jet curtain induced negative pressures on the bottom of the model and resulted in less lift than that obtained with more centrally located jets or jets with large gaps in the jet curtain. Most models with jet slots symmetrical about the pitch axis gave approximately zero pitching moments through the range of ground-board distances, but under some conditions unstable flow direction caused positive or negative pitching moments to occur. With wings attached to the models, the lift close to the ground was 10 to 20 percent less than the lift away from the ground for various configurations. The round jets gave poorer lift-thrust ratios than the slotted jets in the region of ground effect. Out of the region of ground effect the round jets gave the greatest lift-thrust ratio per unit of weight rate of flow of air, for equal jet-exit areas, and the thinnest slotted jet gave the least. |
