Abstract
Consider a wing-jet combination placed in a wind tunnel; the measured thrust on the wing due to a high speed jet emerging from it will require to be corrected to give the infinite stream value. This paper provides a theory of these wind tunnel corrections, and incidently establishes that the ideal thrust is almost independent of the jet exit angle.Keywords
