Lift distribution in a rectangular jet [PDF]
, 1971 Computer programs predict effect of slipstream-wing flow interaction on aerodynamic characteristics of deflected slipstream and tilt aircraft. One program calculates lift distribution, lift, and drag of wing in wide slipstream. Results permit development

A comparison of coaxial and conventional rotor performance [PDF]
, 2009 The performance of a coaxial rotor in hover, in steady forward flight, and in level, coordinated turns is contrasted with that of an equivalent, conventional rotor with the same overall solidity, number of blades, and blade aerodynamic properties.

Aerodynamic Drag and Gyroscopic Stability
, 2013 This paper describes the effects on aerodynamic drag of rifle bullets as the gyroscopic stability is lowered from 1.3 to 1.0. It is well known that a bullet can tumble for stability less than 1.0. The Sierra Loading Manuals (4th and 5th Editions) have previously reported that ballistic coefficient decreases significantly as gyroscopic stability, Sg, is

Active Flow Control by Coanda Actuators for Aerodynamic Drag Reduction in a European-Type Truck
ActuatorsHeavy vehicles present high aerodynamic drag. This results in significant fuel consumption and, consequently, high emissions of harmful substances. This study examines the variation in aerodynamic drag in a European-type truck with different trailer ...

Drag reductions obtained by modifying a box-shaped ground vehicle [PDF]
A box-shaped ground vehicle was used to simulate the aerodynamic drag of high volume transports, that is, delivery vans, trucks, or motor homes. The coast-down technique was used to define the drag of the original vehicle, having all square corners, and ...
