Aircraft Open Viewing Port Configuration
US Patent:
4858850, Aug 22, 1989
Filed:
Jul 9, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/071631
Inventors:
Curtis E. McNay - Wichita KS
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Seattle WA
International Classification:
B64D 4700
US Classification:
244 1R
Abstract:
Apparatus for reducing drag and improving optical observation through an open aircraft port includes a ramp mounted on the port downstream edge, orifices or slots in the ramp surface interconnected by a manifold, and an associated air pump for withdrawing air from the free shear layer through the ramp to provide reattachment of the free shear layer at a preselected location on the ramp. The apparatus also can include conduits for supplying the extracted air to apertures located in a lip on the port upstream edge for injecting air along the free shear layer to control detachment.
