Summary

A wind-tunnel investigation has been conducted to determine the performance and static stability and control characteristics of an external-flow jet-flap transport configuration having inboard pod-mounted engines and full-span triple-slotted flaps. Tests were made with the engines mounted clustered at 22.0 percent and 30.4 percent semispan to represent double (Siamese) pods and with engines mounted at 22.0 percent and 41.7 percent semispan to represent a more spread arrangement. Tests were also made to evaluate the effectiveness of wing leading-edge blowing as a means of improving the aerodynamic efficiency of the configuration and of eliminating the large engine-out roll asymmetries that , occurred for the configuration when the wing with an engine out stalled first.
