A jet in a cross flow is of interest in practical situations including jet-powered VTOL aircraft. Three aspects of the problem have received little prior study. First is the effect of the angle of the jet to the crossflow. Second is the performance of dual-jet configurations. The third item for further study is a jet injected from a body of revolution as opposed to a flat plate. The Test Plan for this work was designed to address these three aspects. The experiments were conducted in the 7 x 10 tunnel at NASA Ames at velocities 14.5 - 35.8 m/sec (47.6 - 117.4 ft/sec). Detailed pressure distributions are presented for single and dual jets over a range of velocity ratios from 3 to 8, spacings from 2 to 6 diameters and injection angles of 90, 75 and 60 degrees. Some flowfield measurements are also presented, and it is shown that a simple analysis is capable of predicting the trajectories of the jets.
