Description:
Analysis, design, experimental static testing, wind-tunnel testing, and design integration studies are used to develop an augmentor wing jet flap configuration for a jet STOL transport aircraft having maximum propulsion and aerodynamic performance with minimum noise generation. The program has three basic elements: (1) static testing of a scale wing section to demonstrate augmentor performance and noise characteristics; (2) two-dimensional wind-tunnel testing to determine flight-speed effects on performance, and (3) system design and evaluation that optimizes the complete system and ensures that the design is compatible with the requirements for a large STOL transport having a 500-foot sideline noise of 95 perceived noise decibels (PNdb) or less.
