Analytical methods to predict the interference between lifting surfaces and high-bypass-ratio turbofan engines are described. A three-dimensional nonplanar vortex-lattice lifting surface method is used to predict the characteristics of a wing with leading-edge slat and multiple slotted trailing-edge flaps including effects of externally induced velocity fields. A flow model of the wake of a high-bypass-ratio turbofan is described which is capable of predicting the induced velocity field both inside and outside the jet wake. These methods are combined to predict the longitudinal characteristics of several STOL transport models utilizing externally-blown flaps and comparisons with data are shown. The results indicate good agreement between experiment and theory for various configurations under a wide range of power conditions.
