Abstract
An estimate is made of the “ground” interference effect of the deck of an aircraft carrier. It is shown that in the extreme case of wing span equal to deck width the induced upwash is of the order of 20 per cent less than the usual ground interference value. Thus the landing characteristics of an aircraft should not be markedly affected.It seems that there should be a difference between landing an aircraft on a stationary aircraft carrier and on the ground, due to modification of the ground-interference effect by the finite width of the carrier deck, particularly if for some reason large aircraft are to be used. In this note an estimate is made of the magnitude of this effect.
