Prediction methods for jet V/STOL propulsion aerodynamicsThe current status of prediction methods for propulsive flows and propulsion-induced effects which occur on jet V/STOL aircraft is reviewed. Among the major topics studied are flows in propulsive ducts, propulsion-induced ground and thermal effects, aerodynamic loads induced during V/STOL and transition flight, flow vectoring devices, and thrust augmented ejector and lift-fan studies. The current predictive capability in jet V/STOL propulsion aerodynamics is assessed. Future research needs are identified, with particular reference to activities that can improve the usefulness of prediction methods for jet V/STOL aircraft.
