    Abstract:

    The slipstream of the aircraft with four turbopropellers affects large area around the aircraft, and the induced variation of lift, drag, and pitching moment must be accurately measured to evaluate flight performance and quality. The aerodynamic force of the aircraft with slipstream effect is investigated quantitatively by powered wind tunnel tests, including the lift, drag, pitching moment and elevator efficiency characteristics. The wake flow field is measured by sevenhole probe technique. The research reveals that the lift and drag are increased due to the high speed slipstream, and the lift to drag ratio is reduced by 6% and 20% at typical cruise and climb condition respectively. The wake flow tests reveal that the slipstream sweeps from below the horizontal tail to above it with higher AOA(angle of attack), which causes the strongly nonlinear variation of pitching moment and elevator efficiency.
