An Analysis of Prop-Fan/Airframe Aerodynamic IntegrationThis study addresses an approach to aerodynamic integration of turbo-props and airframes, with emphasis placed upon wing-mounted installations. Potential flow analytical techniques were employed to study aerodynamic integration of the prop-fan propulsion concept with advanced, subsonic, commercial transport airframes. Three basic configurations were defined and analyzed: - Wing-mounted prop-fan at a cruise Mach number of 0.8 - Wing-mounted prop-fan in a low-speed configuration - Aft-mounted prop-fan at a cruise Mach number of 0.8
