The results of wind tunnel tests for the determination of the effect of a jet on the lift and downwash of a wing are presented in this report. In the first part, a jet without rotation and with constant velocity distribution is considered - the jet being produced by a specially designed fan. Three-component, pressure distribution, and downwash measurements were made and the results compared with existing theory. The effect of a propeller slipstream was investigated in the second part. In the two cases the jet axis coincided with the undisturbed wind direction. In the third part the effect of the inclination of the propeller axis to the wing chord was considered, the results being obtained for a model wing with running propeller.
