Design and two dimensional cascade test of a jet-flap turbine stator blade with ratio of axial chord to spacing of 0.5

A jet-flap blade was designed for a velocity diagram typical of the first-stage stator of a jet engine turbine and was tested in a simple two-dimensional cascade of six blades. The principal measurements were blade surface static pressure and cross-channel surveys of exit total pressure, static pressure, and flow angle. The results of the experimental investigation include blade loading, exit angle, flow, and loss data for a range of exit critical velocity ratios and three jet flow conditions.
