With jet-flap wings a considerable proportion of the jet efflux leaves the wing trailing edge as a plane jet sheet inclined to the relative mainstream. The lift generated is several times the corresponding vertical component ...

Distributed suction may be preferable to tangential blowing as a method of boundary-layer control to achieve high lift for civil aircraft, because of its lower flow rates and power requirements. Tests using practical ...

To investigate the basic aerodynamic characteristics of jet-flap aircraft, six-component force and moment measurements have been made on jet-flap complete models in the R.A.E. No. 2 11½ ft x 8½ ft low speed wind tunnel. ...
