An investigation was conducted in the Langley V/STOL tunnel to determine the upwash flow angles in the region of the nacelle inlets of a representative powered-lift transport configuration operating at high lift coefficients. The upwash angles were indicated by tufts and measured from photographs. A potential-flow program was used to estimate these flow angles. Large upflow angles exist near the inlets of the nacelles; the highest value (67.3 deg) occurred with flaps at 15, 35, 55 deg, an angle of attack of 25.7 deg, and a thrust coefficient of 4. The upflow angle was found to be strongly dependent on the circulation lift, regardless of the flap deflection, angle of attack, or thrust coefficient used to generate this circulation lift. The potential-flow calculations away from the nacelle inlets agreed fairly well with the experimental data. (Author)
