Design Improvement for Airplane-Engine Nacelles
Abstract
Advanced three-dimensional transonic design routine for wingmounted engine nacelles modified to include effects of propellers and wing sweep. Resulting new nacelle shapes introduce less airflow disturbance and less drag. Improvement consists of introduction of boundary conditions in form of nonuniform onset flow in area of wing washed by propeller slipstream. Routine generates nacelle shape as series of cross sections swept, relatively to unperturbed flow, as function of wing shape.
