Hello

This is a first post here, so be gentle.


Exploitation of Exhaust Plumes and Coanda effect has been a hot topic in F1 for the last three years or so.

It is interesting to speculate that this interest followed a large UK Aerospace/Academic study into Fluidic Flight Control using the Coanda effect among other things.

Some insight can be seen here.

There is a large research effort being concentrated in the UAV arena at the moment. I wonder what other technologies will be capable of transposition?

As we progress into the 2014 regulations, it will be interesting to see what can be achieved once the exhaust plume position is in a less advantageous position.

Any thoughts on “Fluidic Augmentation” for 2014?

Fantastic data Charlie, thank you.

One question: Why use fixed wing?
Apply it all to an unloaded rotor aircraft and the results would be even better.
We have the basis of such a development direction if your interested.
