Original abstract

In this paper, the installation effects on hovering air-vehicle performance are discussed. Tractor configuration is considered which exhibits two installation effects on the vehicle performance. The first is the vertical drag due to the immersed installations in the propeller wake. Second is the propeller performance as influenced by the installation wake clogging. An analytic model is suggested for the former and an experiment was done to substantiate an empiric model for the latter. The paper shed light on the procedure of thrust and power bookkeeping, which should be taken into consideration during estimating installed propellers for hovering air vehicles
