Research abstract
LIFT AND CONTROL CHARACTERISTICS OF A CIRCULAR AIRPLANE EMPLOYING THE COANDA EFFECT WILL BE INVESTIGATED EXPERIMENTALLY AND ANALYTICALLY. A SCALE MODEL WILL BE CONSTRUCTED, INSTRUMENTED AND TESTED FOR LIFT FORCES, VELOCITY AND PRESSURE PROFILES. A FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD OF ANALYSIS OF THE FLOW OVER THE BODY WILL BE DEVELOPED, USING A PARABOLIC MARCHING TECHNIQUE AND A MIXING LENGTH MODEL WITH EMPIRICAL CORRECTIONS. THE EXPERIMENTAL DATA WILL BE USED TO CORRECT THE ANALYTICAL MODEL. CONTROLLED SEPARATION OF THE AXISYMMETRIC COANDA JET WILL BE INVESTIGATED AS AN ATTITUDE CONTROL MEANS.
