An empirical method has been developed to predict the propulsive-induced forces on a V/STOL aircraft hovering in proximity of the ground. This method is applicable to configurations employing two, three, or four circular exhausts. Planform contour, nozzle pressure ratio, and lift improvement devices are considered. Accuracies on the order of one percent of propulsive thrust are demonstrated. (Author)
