Investigating Propeller Slipstream Effect on Aircraft Tail

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the effect of propeller slipstream on the horizontal tail of a pusher aircraft, with specific dimensions provided. The user is seeking assistance for a graduate project, emphasizing concerns about stability issues related to the slipstream. Suggestions include using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to analyze the slipstream effect and adjusting the height of the horizontal tail to mitigate impacts. A NASA report titled "Report No. 690: Longitudinal Stability and Control with Special Reference to Slipstream Effects" is mentioned as a valuable resource for understanding these dynamics. The conversation also includes a brief exchange about the quality of posts and spelling.

could anyone help me in that please?
i want to to detmine the effect of the propeller slipstream on the horizontal tail the aircraft is pusher and the propeller in front of the horizontal tail the distance is 15cm and the propeller diamter is 40cm
or anyone help me with references

That is not something you can easily calculate via a Formula. Why are you trying to calculate this?
 
that for my graduate project and i need that effect to calculate tha stabilty and how the slipstream effect in it
 
i think there will be lot of stability issues. I'm too trying to find the way to calculate the slipstream effect and find its path. Maybe using CFD or something. Maybe by keeping the horizontal tail at an height form the fuselage you can reduce the effect. Check it out.
 
thx for the re and i fiend out report for NASA and after working in it i think the effect will be increas in the dunimec pressuer and increas in the roll moment due to propwash as the thrust increas
 
heyy can u send me dat report coz I've been trying to get stuff on the slipstream effect from months and I've got nothing.
 
yes sure hope it help u just read it well i will give u the name of it becous i don't have its link
it's name is (report no.690 longtudinal stablity and control with special reference to slipstream effects)

Good lord, stop tying in text man. Please, spell check before you post - that goes for both of you. This thread is atrocious.
 
sorry
