    Description: This bibliography, with abstracts, consists of 260 citations of interest to persons involved in correcting aerodynamic data, from high lift or V/STOL type configurations, for the interference arising from the wind tunnel test section walls. It provides references which may be useful in correcting high lift data from wind tunnel to free air conditions. References are included which deal with the simulation of ground effect, since it could be viewed as having interference from three tunnel walls. The references could be used to design tests from the standpoint of model size and ground effect simulation, or to determine the available testing envelope with consideration of the problem of flow breakdown. The arrangement of the citations is chronological by date of publication in the case of reports or books, and by date of presentation in the case of papers. Included are some documents of historical interest in the development of high lift testing techniques and wall interference correction methods. Subject, corporate source, and author indices, by citation numbers, have been provided to assist the users. The appendix includes citations of some books and documents which may not deal directly with high lift or V/STOL wall interference, but include additional information which may be helpful.

    Description: Six interchangeable tip shapes were tested: a square (baseline) tip, an ogee tip, a subwing tip, a swept tip, a winglet tip, and a short ogee tip. In hover at the lower rotational speeds the swept, ogee, and short ogee tips had about the same torque coefficient, and the subwing and winglet tips had a larger torque coefficient than the baseline square tip blades. The ogee and swept tip blades required less torque coefficient at lower rotational speeds and roughly equivalent torque coefficient at higher rotational speeds compared with the baseline square tip blades in forward flight. The short ogee tip required higher torque coefficient at higher lift coefficients than the baseline square tip blade in the forward flight test condition.

    Description: An existing computer program, used for predicting the natural frequencies and mode shapes of helicopter rotor blades, was refined to improve program accuracy and versatility. The program is based on the Holzer-Myklestad approach adapted for rotating beams. Coupled vertical (out-of-plane), horizontal (in-plane), and torsional mode characteristics were determined for a variety of hub and blade configurations. The resulting program is documented by presenting the recursion equations and techniques for determining natural frequencies and mode shapes, input data requirements, and descriptions of various program outputs. The accuracy of the program is demonstrated by comparing computed results with exact solutions to classical problems and experimental data.

    Description: A wind-tunnel investigation was conducted with a vectored-thrust V/STOL fighter configuration. The model was equipped with two nacelle-mounted vectored-thrust jet simulators and one lift-jet simulator. The vectored-thrust jet could be tested at two alternate longitudinal positions and three nozzle deflection angles. The vectored-thrust configuration with the rear nozzles showed an increase in lift and a decrease in pitching moment when compared with the forward nozzles. The rear nozzles also improve stall characteristics.

    Description: A wind-tunnel investigation was conducted to refine the aerodynamic characteristics of the rotor systems research aircraft. For the investigation, a 1/6-scale model without a main rotor or a tail rotor was used. The model provided the capability for testing different engine nacelle sizes, engine pylon fairings, and tail configurations. The engine thrust effects were modeled by small engine simulators (fans). Data were obtained primarily over an angle-of-attack range from -13 deg to 13 deg at several values of sideslip. Stability characteristics and control effectiveness were investigated. The model with the scaled engine nacelles and the combination T-tail and lower horizontal tail displayed longitudinal and lateral-directional stability. Results show that by reducing the horizontal or vertical-tail span the longitudinal stability is decreased. Reducing the engine nacelle size increases the static stability of the model. Effective dihedral is essentially zero at 0 deg angle of attack and 0 deg wing incidence.

    Description: An investigation was conducted in the Langley V/STOL tunnel to determine the performance, stability and control, and rotor-wake interaction effects of a powered tilt-proprotor aircraft model with gimbal-hub rotors. Tests were conducted at representative flight conditions for hover, helicopter, transition, and airplane flight. Force and moment data were obtained for the complete model and for each of the two rotors. In addition to wind-speed variation, the angle of attack, angle of sideslip, rotor speed, rotor collective pitch, longitudinal cyclic pitch, rotor pylon angle, and configuration geometry were varied. The results, presented in graphical form, are available in tabular form to facilitate the validation of analytical methods of defining the aerodynamic characteristics of tilt-proprotor configurations.

    Description: A wind-tunnel model test at advance ratios from 0 to 0.3 with and without auxiliary jet engine thrust is reported. At each advance ratio and engine thrust, both the control power and the aircraft stability were measured. The results indicate that there is a cross-coupling for collective pitch and longitudinal cyclic pitch inputs. The control power for these inputs increased with advance ratio. There was also cross-coupling for differential collective pitch inputs. The airframe was longitudinally unstable, but the instability was less at the highest advance ratio tested. The airframe showed both positive effective dihedral and positive directional stability.

    Description: Recent investigations of propulsion-induced aerodynamics are reviewed. Experimental and analytical studies of the fundamental properties of lifting jet wakes and wind-tunnel investigations of VTOL configuration variables are discussed. The jet-wake flow studies will provide the data base for evaluating theoretical performance prediction methods; while the configuration studies will provide guidance for optimizing airframe/propulsion system integration. The influence of results to date on high-performance VTOL designs emphasizing minimum jet-induced losses and improved thrust vectoring in forward flight (VIFF) capability is illustrated.

    Description: A wind tunnel investigation of the engine exhaust and windstream flow interaction on a gunship helicopter model was conducted in the Langley V/STOL tunnel. The investigation utilized a flow visualization technique employing neutrally buoyant helium filled bubbles to determine the cause of exhaust shield overheating during cruising flight and to evaluate means of eliminating the problem. The flow patterns were recorded with still cameras and on television magnetic tape. Exhaust flow impingement on the exhaust shield during cruise was found to cause the problem. Several flow altering devices were evaluated to find suitable ways to correct the problem. A flow deflector located on the model cowling upstream of the exhaust provides an effective solution.
