Propfan Test Assessment Testbed Aircraft Stability and Control/Performance 1/9-Scale Wind Tunnel Tests

By: Nasa, National Aeronautics and Space Adm

One-ninth scale wind tunnel model tests of the Propfan Test Assessment (PTA) aircraft were performed in three different NASA facilities. Wing and propfan nacelle static pressures, model forces and moments, and flow field at the propfan plane were measured in these tests. Tests started in June 1985 and were completed in January 1987. These data were needed to assure PTA safety of flight, predict PTA performance, and validate analytical codes that will be used to predict flow fields in which the propfan will operate. Little, B.
