LARGE-SCALE WIND-TUNNEL TESTS O F AN AIRPLANE MODEL WITH AN UNSWEPT TILT WING O F ASPECT RATIO 5-37 AND WITH VARIOUS STALL CONTROL DEVICES By James A. Weiberg and Demo J. G i u l i a n e t t i SUMMARY Results are presented of t h e e f f e c t s of slats, f l a p s , wing-fuselage ramp f a i r i n g , and propeller r o t a t i o n on t h e flow separation, b u f f e t , and descent c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s of a tilt-wing deflected-slipstream VTOL model. The r e s u l t s indicated t h a t wing stall and r e s u l t i n g b u f f e t i n descending f l i g h t could be delayed approximately 15 knots by a slat, BLC nose f l a p , o r increased t r a i l i n g - edge f l a p effectiveness.

INTRODUCTION The t e s t s reported i n reference 1 indicated t h a t there would be a problem of a t t a i n i n g descent r a t e s of t h e order of 300 f e e t per minute a t low speed without buffeting. The buffeting w a s produced by air-flow separation from t h e center section of t h e t i l t e d wing which w a s not immersed i n t h e propeller slipstream.

To determine the extent t o which t h i s separation could be contained or delayed, t e s t s were made of the model with various leading-edge f l a p s and slats and a f a i r i n g between t h e t i l t e d wing and fuselage. To determine t h e magnitude of t h e buffeting, the o s c i l l a t o r y force a t t h e model support points and accelerations i n t h e model s t r u c t u r e were measured. The r e s u l t s of these tests are presented herein.

The wing could be t i l t e d 20°, 30°, and 50' from a wing-down position a t which t h e incidence of t h e root chord w a s 8 . 3 O with respect t o t h e fuselage reference l i n e . Except where noted on t h e figures, a l l t h e t e s t s w e r e made with t h e v e r t i c a l t a i l off and t h e horizontal t a i l a t 14O incidence t o t h e fuselage reference l i n e . The geometry of the model and d e t a i l s of t h e stall control devices are shown i n t a b l e I and i n f i g u r e 2. The stall control devices a leading-edge slat ( f i g .

consisted of 2 ( b ) ) , a BLC nose f l a p ( f i g . 2 ( b ) ) , and a ramp-type f a i r i n g between t h e fuselage and t h e leading-edge of t h e t i l t e d wing ( f i g . 2 ( c ) ) . This l a t t e r ramp-type f a i r i n g w i l l be r e f e r r e d t o as t h e ramp. For some t e s t s , only the portion of the ramp a f t of the wing leading edge w a s t e s t e d .

This portion of t h e ramp w i l l be referred t o as t h e aft ramp. The BLC nose f l a p completely spanned t h e wing. The various spanwise extents of slats t e s t e d a r e shown i n figure 2 ( b ) . The full-span slat extended over t h e fuselage with t h e wing t i l t e d and ended at t h e side of t h e fuselage with t h e wing down.

The blowing boundary-layer-control system used on t h e f l a p s i s described i n reference 2. The height of t h e j e t nozzle w a s 0.060 inch on t h e trailing-edge f l a p s and 0.080 inch on t h e leading-edge f l a p s .

For t h e t r a i l i n g - edge f l a p s t h i s value w a s determined from the d a t a presented i n reference 2. For t h e BLC nose f l a p , t h e c r i t i c a l w a s determined from t h e data i n figure 3.

The majority o f t h e d a t a w a s obtained with t h e propellers r o t a t i n g i n t h e d i r e c t i o n shown i n f i g u r e 2(a) and, unless noted, t h e data pre- sented w e r e with t h i s r o t a t i o n .

Tests were made at free-stream v e l o c i t i e s from 0 t o 93 f p s (9, = 10 and a Reynolds number of 2.8 million based on t h e wing mean aerodynamic chord of 5.18 f e e t ) .

Measurements of t h e stall b u f f e t i n t e n s i t y w e r e made using t h e output from strain-gage-type load c e l l s mounted between t h e model and t h e support s t r u t s and from accelerometers located i n t h e model s t r u c t u r e . These data were recorded on an oscillograph.

REXULTS AND DISCUSSION The basic l i f t , drag, and pitching-moment c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s of t h e model are presented i n f i g u r e s 4 t o 9.

Data a r e presented f o r f l a p deflections of O o , 3 0 ' , 50'7 and 80° , wing tilt angles O f 0 ' , 2 0 ' , 30° , and 50' , and t h r u s t coef- f i c i e n t s T c l from 0 t o 4.

From these areas t h e separation spread spanwise with increasing angle of a t t a c k . The flow separation i n these areas w a s delayed t o higher angles of a t t a c k by e i t h e r the full-span slat o r the BLC nose f l a p which extended over t h e e n t i r e wing span (including t h a t p a r t o f t h e t i l t e d wing above t h e fuselage).

I n addition, t h e full-span slat and t h e BLC nose f l a p increased maximum l i f t and t h e angle-of-attack f o r maximum l i f t (e.g., see f i g s . 3(a) and (b); 6(a) and A slat over only t h e center section between t h e (b); 7(a) , (e) , ( f ) , (g)).

inboard nacelles d i d not noticeably alter t h e flow separation i n t h i s region nor provide any increase i n l i f t ( c f . f i g s . 7(a) and ( c ) ) . With t h e ramp f a i r i n g flow between t h e fuselage and t h e t i l t e d wing but with no leading-edge device, separation s t a r t e d i n t h e area between t h e nacelles on each wing panel and pro- gressed spanwise u n t i l it had spread onto t h e r e a r portion of t h e a f t ramp. The a f t ramp alone w a s as e f f e c t i v e as t h e complete ramp i n delaying the center sec- t i o n stall ( c f . f i g s . 7(g) and ( h ) ) . The ramp did not a l t e r the steady force c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s but did delay t h e onset of t a i l buffet due t o flow separation from the wing.

The flow separation and stall w e r e accompanied by buffeting of t h e model.

Measurements were made of t h e magnitude of t h e fluctuating forces involved.

These fluctuations were random i n magnitude as shown by t h e t y p i c a l oscillograph t r a c e s i n figure 11. The frequency of t h e o s c i l l a t i o n s corresponded t o t h e n a t u r a l frequency of t h e model s t r u c t u r e . The maximum peak-to-peak fluctuations were measured f r o m t r a c e s such as those i n figure 11. The v a r i a t i o n s with angle of a t t a c k o f half of t h e peak-to-peak value of these fluctuations f o r some of t h e configurations t e s t e d a r e shown i n figures 1 2 and 13. The stall buffet intensi- t i e s shown were measured with an accelerometer on t h e t i p of t h e horizontal t a i l and f r o m a load c e l l on one of t h e model support s t r u t s . The accelerations were measured perpendicular t o t h e h o r i z o n t a l - t a i l plane and t h e o s c i l l a t i n g forces, perpendicular t o t h e wing reference plane. These data a r e f o r a free-stream dynamic pressure of 10 p s f . Fromthese data, the angle o f a t t a c k f o r t h e start o f buffet r i s e w a s obtained and is shown i n t h e basic force data of figures 4 t o 9 by a shaded symbol. For the p l a i n wing, flow separation accompanied by buffet r i s e u s m y preceded C L ~ ~ , but w a s not necessarily accompanied by an abrupt change i n force c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s . I n general, t h e slat, BLC nose f l a p , and ramp configurations delayed flow separation and accompanying b u f f e t t o higher angles of a t t a c k so t h a t t h e buffet r i s e more nearly coincided with CL .

m X Effect o f S t a l l Control Devices on Operational Characteristics Flight t e s t s of a tilt-wing airplane ( r e f . 5 ) have shown t h a t t h e wing stall and separation ( r e f . 6) which occurs i n a d e s c e n t - o r a decelerating conversion leads t o buffeting and e r r a t i c motions with general d i f f i c u l t y i n handling t h e a i r c r a f t . For t h e present model, the e f f e c t s of t h e various stall control devices on t h e descent c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s i n the t r a n s i t i o n w e r e estimated. Glide angles were computed from t h e data i n f i g u r e s 4 t o 9 f o r an airplane having a wing loading of 50 p s f . Results are presented i n figures 14 f o r two configura- t i o n s showing t h e v a r i a t i o n of g l i d e angle throughout an angle of a t t a c k and t h r u s t coefficient range. Boundaries of stall b u f f e t rise and Ci.5' angle of a t t a c k a r e shown on these f i g u r e s . The stall boundary defines, f o r a given vel- o c i t y , t h e glide angle above which a rise i n the buffet magnitude w a s indicated from t h e measured fluctuating forces. This boundary w a s determined using data similar t o t h a t i n figures 1 2 and 13. Boundaries f o r stall buffet rise f o r t h e various configurations t e s t e d a r e compared i n f i g u r e s 13 t o 18. A s an indication of t h e descent rates a t t a i n e d with these g l i d e angles, a curve showing t h e g l i d e angle f o r 500 fpm descent is included on t h e f i g u r e s . Flap deflection, wing- fuselage ramp fairing, slats, and BLC nose f l a p s all increased t h e value o f A l l but f l a p deflection provided t h i s buffet-free g l i d e angle at a given speed.

increased g l i d e angle as a result of delay i n angle of a t t a c k before buffet.

Change i n propeller r o t a t i o n from r i g h t hand (used i n r e f . 1) t o t h a t shown in f i g u r e 2, reduced the center section stall with a subsequent increase in t h e Some d a t a were a l s o obtained with t h e g l i d e angle before b u f f e t (see f i g . 1 7 ) .

inboard propellers interchanged t o give down-going blades between the propellers.

This configuration a l l e v i a t e d flow separation between the nacelles on each wing panel but worsened t h e center section stall. This interchange of propeller r o t a t i o n did not a l t e r the steady force c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s but d i d reduce t h e g l i d e angle before b u f f e t .

Although most of these stall control devices provided sizable improvements 500 fpm could not be i n t h e descent c a p a b i l i t y , descent r a t e s g r e a t e r than a t speeds below 4 0 knots without b u f f e t even with the best configuration.

N o l a t e r a l - d i r e c t i o n a l data were obtained on t h i s model with a l l t h e propellers r o t a t i n g i n the same d i r e c t i o n . However, comparisons with data from reference 3 on the aspect r a t i o 1 0 wing (from which the present model w a s made by cutting o f f t h e t i p s ) , indicate t h a t , a s expected, propeller r o t a t i o n has a l a r g e e f f e c t on l a t e r a l - d i r e c t i o n a l c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s . The counterrotating propel- l e r arrangement of t h e present t e s t s eliminated o r g r e a t l y reduced the l a r g e CnP and C z P ; t h e l a r g e v a r i a t i o n of e f f e c t s of power on CY with angle of a t t a c k ( f i g . 20) was a l s o e s s e n t i a l l y eliminated. This l a t t e r l a r g e v a r i a t i o n of side force with angle of a t t a c k w a s shown t o impair t h e a i r p l a n e ' s handling q u a l i t i e s ( r e f . 7) but it is not necessarily t y p i c a l of multiengined propellered airplanes ( r e f . 8 ) .

CONDLUDING RENARKS The wind-tunnel t e s t s showed t h a t maximum l i f t of t h e tilt-wing deflected slipstream VTOL model w a s l i m i t e d by separation f r o m t h e center section of t h e wing outside t h e slipstream and from an area between the nacelles.

High-lift trailing-edge f l a p s and powerful leading-edge stall control devices delayed t h i s separation so t h a t some descent c a p a b i l i t y could be obtained without b u f f e t i n the t r a n s i t i o n speed range.

It w a s shown t h a t propeller r o t a t i o n had a l a r g e influ- ence on wing flow separation and on l a t e r a l and d i r e c t i o n a l c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s .
