This paper contains the results of an experimental investigation
into the effects induced by a deflected jet upon the body from which
it issues. The tests were performed at a Reynolds number of 0.3 x 10(6)
based on body diameter and maximum tunnel velocity.
It was found that a side force and moment were induced upon the
afterbody, the magnitude of which increased with jet deflection and
jet thrust. The direction of the induced side force was in a direction
opposite to the normal component of the thrust vector. The base drag
increased with jet thrust but decreased with increase of jet deflection
for small deflections.
