Presented is an analytical investigation of the aerodynamic forces acting on wing-propeller combinations including the effects of propeller slipstreams. The results of the developed theory are then applied to typical two- and four-propeller VTOL and STOL wing configurations. Correlation with existing test data is shown to be satisfactory. Consideration is also given to such associated items as the effects of the slipstream on (1) wing stall (2) aircraft take-off and landing performance and (3) aircraft stability and control. (Author)
