Tests of Several Model Nacelle-Propeller Arrangements in Front of a Wing
Report presenting an investigation in the 20-foot wind tunnel to determine the drag, propulsive and net efficiencies, and cooling characteristics of several scale-model arrangements of air-cooled radial-engine nacelles and present-day propellers in front of an 18-percent-thick, 5-by-15-foot airfoil. Two 3-blade propellers with differing diameters were tested in conjunction with a 12-inch-diameter nacelle in three positions in front of the wing and with a 16-inch-diameter nacelle in six positions in front of the wing. Lift, drag, cooling-air flow, and propeller characteristics were determined for each arrangement.
