Description
In V/STOL (vertical/short takeoff and landing) aircraft, jet or fan thrust is used to provide lift for hover mode and both lift and thrust for very-low speed flight. Combining experimental data, empirical correlations, and results from computational-fluid-dynamics methodologies, Kuhn (a V/STOL consultant), Margason (Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company), and Curtis (McDonnell Douglas/British Aerospace) describe the aerodynamics of jet and fan-powered V/STOL aircraft in these two modes. Following the introduction, they offer chapters discussing lift loss in hover, transition out-of-ground effect, transition-in-ground effect in STOL operation, hot-gas ingestion, ground environment effects, and application of computational fluid dynamics.
