Effect of Multiple-Jets Exits on the Base Pressure of a Simple Wing-Body Combination at Mach Numbers of 0.6 to 1.27An investigation has been conducted at Mach numbers of 0.6 to 1.27 to determine the effect of multiple-jet exits on the base pressure of a simple wing-body combination. The design Mach number of the nozzles ranged from 1 to 3 at jet exit diameters equal to 36.4 to 75 percent of the model thickness. Jet total-pressure to free-stream static-pressure ratios ranged from 1 (no flow) to 34.2. The results show that the variation of base pressure coefficient with jet pressure ratio for the model tested was similar to that obtained for single nozzles in bodies of revolution in other investigations. As in the case for single jets the base pressure coefficient for the present model became less negative as the jet exit diameter increased. For a constant throat diameter and an assumed schedule of jet pressure ratio over the speed range of these tests, nozzle Mach number had only a small effect on base pressure coefficient.
