Abstract
SummaryJet flap theory for thin aerofoils has been extended to include the effect of jet entrainment on the external flow when the jet is blown over the upper surface of the aerofoil. The effective camber of the aerofoil is increased by the sink effect due to entrainment and the increase of lift at zero incidence is proportional to the square root of the jet momentum coefficient. Formulae and charts are presented to facilitate the determination of the increments of lift and pitching moment due to this effect. The theory is shown to be in first-order agreement with the exact solution for a circular-arc aerofoil of small camber with distributed sinks on the upper surface.The new theory is compared with four old sets and one new set of experimental data. It greatly improves the accuracy of prediction for cases where the incidence and flap angle are small. The new theory substantiates the usefulness of a small flap in applications of the jet flap principle.
