This paper reports on the design, construction, Instrumentation and preliminary testing performed on the high-lift wing of the MARVELETTE aircraft in a two-dimensional wind tunnel. The wind tunnel,12 feet high and 2 feet 9 inches wide,was fitted over a section of the aircraft wing to the shrouded propeller at the rear of the vehicle. When operating with this arrangement, wind tunnel velocities ...

this paper presents numerical calculations for podded propulsion system using vortex theory and potential panel method. the method discretizes the surface boundary of the body (propeller +pod+strut) and obtained the vortex and propeller surface and potential on strut and pod. a model propeller and strut are considered for these calculations and the results of pressure distribution, flow field a...

This paper focuses on the dynamic effects of flexible propellers F2 class aircraft models. An oscillating propeller affects an engine’s mechanical performance, and this combination has a huge influence model’s flight performance. In first second sections paper, two physical tests that were performed according to test results obtained using CFX numerical model are discussed. The studies for mode...

At 3:15 AM on 27th April 1941, Pilot Officer Christopher Carmichael of 502 Squadron took Whitley aircraft Z6501 to roll out on Limavady’s partially completed airfield. A crew of 6, including Pilot Officer Christopher Carmichael, Flight Lieutenant John Dickson, Sergeant Desmond “Des” O’Connell, Sergeant Stanley William Dorney, Sergeant Fred Redhead, Sergeant John Wilson (Air Gunner) were schedul...

A numerical lifting line method, coupled with a numerical blade element method, is presented as a low computational cost approach to modeling slipstream effects on a finite wing. This method uses a 3D vortex lifting law along with known 2D airfoil data to predict the lift distribution across a wing in the presence of a propeller slipstream. The results are of significant importance in the devel...

Abstract The scope of the present paper is to assess potential distributed propulsion for a regional aircraft regarding aero-propulsive efficiency. Several sensitivities such as effect wingtip propellers, thrust distribution, and shape modifications are investigated based on configuration with 12 propulsors. Furthermore, an initial assessment high-lift performance undertaken in order estimate w...
