Abstract Text:

Design, fabrication, testing, and data analysis of an ADAM II concept (propulsive wing) V/STOL airplane model has been performed by the Vought Aeronautics Division, LTV Aerospace Corporation, Dallas, Texas, under a contract supported jointly by the United States Air Force and the United States Army. The actual testing was conducted by the personnel of the NASA Langley Research Center (LRC) in the 17-foot test section of the LRC 7-foot by 10-foot low speed wind tunnel and in the LRC 16-foot transonic wind tunnel. The results detailed in Parts II, III, and IV are generally favorable and have led to a recommendation for continued development of the ADAM II concept.

Design, Fabrication, Testing, And Data Analysis Of Adam II Concept (Propulsive Wing). Part II. Shakedown Testing In Vad 7-Ft X 10-Ft Low Speed Wind Tunnel

Abstract Text:

An analysis is presented of the data obtained from a short series of tests to "shakedown" a powered model of the ADAM II V/STOL concept. Correlating data from tests of a related semispan model are also included. Results show that the longitudinal stability of the present configuration in the cruise mode has a greater nariation with angle of attack and power than conventional airplanes. The data indicated that, for this test, possible lower surface flap separation and detached nose fan exit flow caused nonlinearities in pitching moment. These can be eliminated by redesign at critical points to provide good stability. The location of the horizontal tails in the wing tip vortex results in an upwash derivative (negative d(espilon)/d(alpha)) that results in a high level of horizontal tail contribution to stability. Although the basic low aspect ration horizontal tails were highly loaded and operating wih disturbed flow conditions much of the time, there was no indication of tail stall. Horizontal tail control effectiveness appears to be adequate at the present stability levels. The model was less stable directionally than longitudinally in the sense that a greater forward movement in c. g. location is required for neutral stability. In this test, directional stability was independent of angle of attack and power effects, and lateral stability was at all times positive and varied with angle of attack and power effects.

Abstract Text:

An analysis of selected data obtained from a low speed wind tunnel test of a straight, low aspect ratio propulsive wing V/STOL aircraft concept is presented. Essential features of the model are four compressed air tip driven fans in the wing with vectroable exhaust, fixed exhausts blwoing over the top of the flap simulating hot gas turbine exhaust, a forward-facing nose fan for pitch control with a vectorable exhaust, and tail surfaces mounted on booms extending aft as part of the wing tips. The model was tested in the V/STOL mode where the propulsive flows were defelected symmetrically downward by internal vanes at 30, 60, and 90 degrees and by flap deflections from 30 to 90 degrees. Stability, control, and a limited amount of pressure data were obtained for various flow deflections, momentum co-efficients, configuration changes, and ground board heights. Because of the proximity of the tails to the wing tip vortex, the horizontal tail contribution to the longitudinal stability is increased due to favorable upwash, and the directional stability contribution of the vertical tail is reduced due to high angles of sidewash. Removing the vertical tails from the booms and adding a centerline vertical tail to the fuselage improved directional stability and the linearity of the pitching moment curves. At high momentum coefficients, the high velocity propulsive flow induces additional dynamic pressure at the horizontal tails, and control effectiveness is improved. At low momentum coefficients the horizontal tail effectiveness is low. Control by deflectiion of the propulsive flow with wing vanes and flaps is adequate. In general, the effect of the ground board is to increase thrust-included lift by increasing bottom surface pressures and to reduce the effective exhaust flow deflection angle. Drag increments due to ground effects vary with vane and flap defelctions.

Abstract Text:

An analysis of data obtained from a high speed wind tunnel test of a straight, low aspect ratio propulsive wing V/STOL aircraft concept is presented. Essential features of the model are four compressed-air tip driven fans in the wing with vectorable exhaust, fixed exhausts blowing over the top of a remotely controlled flap simulating hot gas turbine exhaust velocities, a forward-facing nose fan for pitch control with vectorable exhaust, horizontal tail surfaces mounted on booms extending aft as part of the wing tips, and a centerline vertical tail. The model was tested in the cruise mode, where the propulsive flows were deflected symmetrically by flap deflections ranging from 0 to 41 degrees. Stability, control, and a limited amount of pressure data were obtained for various momentum coefficients, Mach numbers, and configuration changes. Results in terms of drag-rise Mach number and flying qualities are generally satisfactory. The small capture-area wing inlets tested with the fan nose configuration indicated an improvement in drag and stability over the large capture-area inlets. Because of the proximity of the horizontal tails to the wing tip vortex, the horizontal tail contribution to longitudinal stability is increased due to favorable upwash. The centerline vertical tail provides an improvement to directional stability over the outboard vertical tails. While these Langley wind tunnel test results have contributed data and insight to the ADAM II propulsive wing concept, certain aspects of the data indicate the need for additional wind tunnel testing.

Abstract Text:

This report covers Phase I effort in an exploratory development program to evaluate the Vuillemier heat driven refrigeratiion cycle for aircraft and spacecraft cryogenic applications. The effort includes a study of the theoretical aspects of the cycle and development of three miniature breadboard cryogenic refrigerators based on the cycle and operated by electric powered heating capsules. Two of the breadboard units are of identical design; these deliver 2 watts cooling capacity at 77 degrees K. The remaining breadboard is a two-stage unit designed to deliver 0.5 watt aat 30 degrees K and 5 watts at 75 degrees K. Performance data from these units were incorporated in the theoretical study. All units met their design requirements and confirmed the feasibility and inherent advantages of. The Vuillemier cycle for miniature long-life cryogenic refrigerators for both aircraft and spacecraft applications.

Abstract Text:

The results of a synthesis of pertinent maneuvers with a mathematical model of the XC-142 V/STOL airplane have served to establish tolerances in the measurement of flight parameters which provide the time histories used in the derivation of aerodynamic coefficients. Extracting valid aerodynamic coefficients from flight test time histories requires highly accurate instruments or detailed a priori knowledge of instrumentation errors. Furthermore, the mathematical technique used should provide the capability of extracting many coefficients simultaneously and delineating the probable error of each coefficient. The method of multiple linear regression, a least squares algorithm, provides the requisite mathematical tool with adequate statistical credentials. A state-of-the-art survey and a vendor-product-line review have provided guidelines for a system that will meet the overall accuracy requirements established. Details of equipment installations, oriented toward minimizing environmental stresses (particularly vibrations), have been studied. Conclusions drawn from this program are that the assembly and application of a precision data acquisition system based on digital 'onboard' handling techniques, with the appropriate sensing instrumentation, is entirely feasible but that limited development of measurement techniques, hardware, and software are required.

Abstract Text:

A concept was investigated whereby aircrewmembers are given a capability to aid in their own rescue subsequent to emergency ejection from their mission vehicle. The self-rescue capability was achieved by way of integrating a parawing into the ejection-seat escape system to provide an aerodynamic-lift generating surface, and also a twin-turbofan jet engine to provide propulsion for gaining altitude and departing from the emergency site toward a safe area for liason with allied forces. The escape/rescue system analyses concluded that in the conventional ejection/recovery mode of operation the AERCAB provides a survival capability surpassing that of currently in-service systems. In the self-rescue mode, AERCAB is capable of flight at 10,000 feet (MSL) over a distance of fifty nautical miles at airspeeds approaching 100 knots. The system is manually controllable in both powered and unpowered flight, and it appears feasible to incorporate an automatic homing flight control system. AERCAB is shown capable of adverse weather operation in powered flight provided suitable protective clothing is worn by the occupant. Under all emergency circumstances, the aircrewman using AERCAB retains the capability to descend to terrain level with his personnel parachute. A detailed preliminary design study was accomplished, and it is shown that the system is retrofittable in the existing crewstations of the A-7 and F-4 aircraft with only minor modifications thereto. The investigative program resulted in the generation of specific operational and design criteria for an integrated aircrew escape/rescue system capability; operational and performance limits thereof were defined; and it was analytically shown that the AERCAB concept is feasible, and merits continued study, experimental testing, and development. A full-scale system mockup was prepared during the program, and delivered to the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory integrated in a simulation of the A-7 crewstation.

Abstract Text:

A wind tunnel-flight data correlation program using the XC-142A airplane was undertaken to assess the degree of correlation attainable and to establish the sreas where present wind tunnel testing and correction techniques appear to be inadequate. Wind tunnel data obtained from tests of three models of the XC-142A airplane in four different size test sections could not be satisfactorily correlated because of differences in model configuration and test conditions. Three special tests were performed using the same model but in different size test sections of the same tunnel. The results of these tests indicated that with proper equipment and techniques, valid V/STOL wind tunnel data can be acquired. The flight data were obtained from the Contractor's Category I test program. The objective of this flight test program was primarily to perform a qualitative evaluation of the airplane rather than to obtain the quantitative data desired for aerodynamic analysis purposes. The flight data were not acquired in a manner that would provide suitable quality to allow a high degree of confidence in inverse solutions for aerodynamic derivatives. It is recommended that future programs include a critical review of the instrumentation system and flight maneuvers in order to obtain the best possible data for determining the low speed flight aerodynamic characteristics.
