A vectored-engine-over-wing propulsive-lift conceptAn experimental investigation has been conducted to evaluate a unique engine-over-wing propulsive-life scheme for providing maneuver improvement in the subsonic-transonic speed regime. The concept combines the benefits of vectored thrust for added circulation and spanwise blowing for leading-edge-vortex augmentation so as to provide full angle-of-attack aerodynamic improvements. Results of a series of wind tunnel tests employing a powered research model illustrate the propulsive/aerodynamic features of the concept.
