The induced lift characteristics are studied for a vectored-thrust concept in which jet-exhaust nozzles were located in the fuselage at the wing trailing edge. The wing had a supercritical airfoil section. The investigation was conducted at Mach numbers from 0.4 to 0.95, angles of attack up to 14 deg, and thrust coefficients up to 0.35, and nozzle deflection angles of 0 deg and 30 deg. Separate force balances were used to determine both total aerodynamic and thrust forces alone which allowed for a direct measurement of jet turning angle at forward speeds. The Reynolds number per meter varied from 8.20 x 1 million to 12.80 x 1 million. The results show that the configuration with the supercritical wing generally had a better performance with respect to both lift augmentation and drag reduction than the same configuration with a 64 series airfoil.
