Description:
A recent low-speed wind-tunnel investigation of a three-surface regional transport configuration has shown large favorable power effects on longitudinal and lateral stability and marginal engine-out trim characteristics for some aft engine and empennage configurations. The present paper discusses these results in terms of static force test information obtained for power-off and power-on conditions. Also discussed in this paper are wind-tunnel results which indicate that mounting propellers over the wing can introduce large favorable slipstream interference effects which significantly reduce the wing drag at climb power conditions.
