Development of thrust augmenting ejectors has produced ejector/diffuser configurations capable of achieving the high levels of thrust augmentation necessary for VTOL aircraft propulsion requirements. Experimental testing has shown that thrust augmenting ejectors can be made more compact by reducing diffuser length with active diffusion boundary layer control employing the Antiseparation Tailored Contour (ATC). Thrust augmentation and internal flow measurements were determined in compact high performance thrust augmentors with various length diffusers. The short ATC/diffusers tested showed significant improvements when compared to previous ejector diffusers. Measured thrust augmentation ratios with an optimum short ATC/diffuser were 10% greater than those with an equivalent straight wall diffuser. Length reductions of 36% were indicated for nominal augmentation ratios of 1.7. The important factors which influence the design and operation of compact thrust augmentor ejector/diffusers have been defined. (Author)
