HIGH PERFORMANCE GENERAL PURPOSE ATTACK AIRCRAFT STUDY. CONFIGURATION ANALYSIS

Abstract

Comparative airplane concepts designed to accomplish pure attack or multimission attack/fighter missions are presented for STOL, V/STOL, or VTOL takeoff and landing modes. A cursory analysis of the operating characteristics and costs of the more interesting configurations is included. It is beyond the scope of the study to recommend any particular weapon system concept. Configurations were established without extensive parametric analyses. Designs were examined in sufficient detail to ensure that the designs are reasonably representative of their classification, are practical, and are comparable. (Author)
