Abstract
A water basin test facility was established capable of measuring forces and moments of small models of VTOL aircraft, simulating hover in and out of ground effect. Because the models and the operation of the facility are inexpensive, the water basin is particularly suitable for testing the relative characteristics of a great number of model configurations for preliminary design development. Results from a variety of models are given. Lift, pitching moments, and rolling moments are given with and without engine failure simulation in ground effect, and with and without pitched and banked conditions.
