Abstract

Report presenting flight tests on an FJ-3 airplane to determine the flight characteristics of a carrier-type airplane with area-suction and blowing boundary-layer control on the trailing-edge flaps. Measurements were made of lift, drag, and bleed-air requirements for the different types of boundary-layer control systems. Results regarding lift, drag, flow requirements, performance, pilots' opinions, and approach-speed criteria are provided.
