Low-Speed Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Effects of Propeller Operation at High Thrust on the Longitudinal Stability and Trim of a Twin-Engine Airplane Configuration (open access)

Low-Speed Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Effects of Propeller Operation at High Thrust on the Longitudinal Stability and Trim of a Twin-Engine Airplane Configuration

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effects of dual-rotation propeller operation at high thrust on the static longitudinal stability characteristics of a semispan powered model representing a twin-engine airplane configuration with flaps retracted. Stability and trim changes associated with an extreme constant power conditions were greatly dependent on tail height and vertical location of the center of gravity. Results regarding basic data, effects of power on overall stability and trim, and tuft-grid flow surveys are provided.
