I see that the devil has infected this computer with a virus
nazis also came up with an annular wing
Albeit they were not the first
this would be the first one
See that looks even worse, at least that other plane had an elliptical annular wing
(The nazi one looks worse)
The nazi one looks cool
I wonder if it would also use the in-wing slots as an output from a turbine bypass, would it make a difference?
I mean that would create disturbances of airflow only at the turbine inlet
But not at the wings
You've got to deal with the slow moving air over the wing and the fast moving air away from the wing, though
Too much stress on the turbine blades to be mixing those airflows
You'll end up with compressor stalls
And the turbo fan will backfire
Also requires maintenance more often than when the engines are just offset from the wing
I can't find it, but there was a proof of concpet that used "air flaps"
And depending on how it was directed it acted as flaps
Basically entire read edge of a wing was acting as an exhaust
So thrust vectoring?
no
but also yes
A picture would certainly help
Thrust vectoring inside the wings, not at the end of a turbine
Okay, I think I have it
I am trying to find it, but it may be that some military got interested and it went underground
So if the engines were off, the control surfaces would still work
But while the engines were on, the airflow was directed somewhat by the surfaces?
found it
there were many more articles about this
I wonder where they all went
It is based on the fluidics field of science
An art of affecting a flow of liquid (or air) with a smaller amout of controlled injection
Very much the transistor principle
But with fluids
