Short abstract: We investigate the efficiency of a thrust vectoring system utilizing a set of vanes designed to create forward force at a minimum loss in net thrust, placed in both a stand-alone propeller configuration and a propeller-in-wing configuration. Both static and wind-on force-based experiments were conducted at the University of Dayton Low Speed Wind Tunnel (UD-LSWT) with off-the-shelf R/C propellers.

Short abstract: We continue to investigate the efficacy of a propeller-in-wing thrust vectoring system utilizing a set of vanes placed in the wake of the propeller with two additional variables: the global forward tilt of the propeller with respect to the freestream and the inlet shape. All experiments were conducted at the University of Dayton Low-Speed Wind Tunnel (UD-LSWT) with off-the-shelf R/C electric propellers.
