THE TURBO-ELECTRIC VTOL AIRCRAFT, SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION.

Abstract

In TG-1013 (AD-675 332) a unique aircraft propulsive/lift power distribution system was described that promises a great deal of flexibility in the design of VTOL aircraft. Its use would permit a significant improvement in many aspects of present and future VTOL designs, including performance, safety, cost, operability, noise, applicability, and operational economy. In this supplement (TG-1013A), a number of interesting additional Turbo-Electric applications that have been evolved since the publication of TG-1013 are described. (Author)
