A study was conducted to develop a mathematical model of a jet exhausting from a flat plate into a crossflowing stream. The modeling was accomplished using the vortex-lattice method. Analytical streamlines and pressure distributions on the flat-plate surface as well as vector data in the field above the plate are compared with available experimental data. Recommendations are made for further improvement of vortex-lattice jet-modeling techniques. (Author).

The unique characteristics of V/STOL flight bring with it unique aerodynamic challenges. Intended for the working professional or those in engineering graduate programs involved with V/STOL, this book provides information on the aerodynamic effects induced by the exiting flows of jet and fan powered V/STOL aircraft in hover and transition flight.
