Dynamic loading of aircraft surfaces due to jet exhaust impingement

High-lift wing concepts being considered for application to commercial STOL transports are discussed. The flow patterns which produce dynamic loads on these wings are indicated. Measurements of surface pressure and acceleration on a one-half-scale model of an externally blown double-slotted flap are reported. Root-mean-square values, power spectra, and scaling parameters are shown.

Externally blown flap dynamic loads

Some of the principal results obtained in three series of measurements of fluctuating surface pressures induced on externally blown flaps by jet impingment are presented. Large- and small-scale models and hot- and cold-flow tests are considered. The discussion sets forth scaling parameters and consistent features of the root-mean-square values and spectra of the loading. Implications of these results with regard to sonic fatigue are indicated.
