Evaluation of Levinsky's method for the calculation of the lift distribution on a wing in propulsive jets

Based on comparison with results from special experiments, an evaluation has been performed of the method of Levinsky, Thommen, Yager and Holland, which is intended to calcxilate the spanwise lift distribution on wings immersed in propulsive jets. Various modifications of the original method have been investigated. It was found that the method,...

Wind-tunnel measurements on the interference between a jet and a wing, located outside the jet. Part I: text, tables and figures

This report describes a wind-tunnel investigation on the interference between a jet and a wing half model, located outside the jet. Pressure distributions on the wing, and lift coefficients calculated from those have been used for evaluation of a method developed at NLR for the prediction of interference effects between jets and parts of...
