| dc.description.abstract | Wind tunnel tests were conducted to investi gate t he effect
of placing a propulsion fan behind the tip of a li.tting ring for
the purpose of recovering the energy in the trailing vortex.
Results indicated tha~ significant increase of thrust could be
obtained as a result of vortex energy recovery. In addition,
the pre-swirling effect provided b.r the vortex allowed the tan
to absorb more power and develop more thrust at a lower
rotational speed. | en_US |
