Abstract

The remarkable characteristic of turboprop-powered aircraft is that its power system has great influence on the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft. Due to the action of turboprop slipstream, the airflow velocity after the propeller is obviously increased compared with the velocity of free flow. The turbulence caused by turboprop slipstream affects the aerodynamics of the aircraft, which in turn affects the performance of turboprop blades. In this paper, the layout characteristic and development trend of turboprop powered aircraft are briefly analysed. According to the characteristics of turboprop aircraft, a thrust/drag system division principle and interference characteristics treatment method for turboprop powered aircraft are introduced. Finally the influence of slipstream on a typical turboprop powered aircraft is analysed, It is very necessary to study the influence of propeller slipstream on aircraft aerodynamic performance in the early stage of developmental the effect of propeller slipstream on the aerodynamic characteristics of the whole aircraft is the strongest in take-off state, the influence of climbing state is weakened the influence of cruise state is the lease and the effect of slipstream effect increases with the increase of thrust.
