Some Effects of Propeller Operation and Location on Ability of a Wing with Plain Flaps to Deflect Propeller Slipstreams Downward for Vertical Take-off

John W. Draper, Richard E. Kuhn

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effects of several factors associated with the propeller installation on the ability of a wing with plain flaps to deflect a propeller slipstream downward as a means for achieving vertical take-off. Some of the factors considered were propeller blade angle, mode of propeller rotation, propeller location, and ratio of wing chord to propeller diameter.
