Principles of Design of Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aircraft,

Abstract

The book is dedicated to the draft designing of a comparatively new type of aircraft possessing the takeoff and landing properties of helicopters and other flight characteristics, peculiar to aircraft. The characteristics of their aerodynamic configuations basic parameters, gravimetric characteristics, and designs with various power plant compositions are examined. Turboprop (TP) and turbojet engines (TJ) (ordinary and special) were used in the composition of the latter both as sustainer and hoisting, and as composite engines accomplishing in one unit the role of the first and the second. Methods are given for calculating the specific vertical takeoff and langing aircraft (VTOL) processes of flight, for example the transfer from vertical flight to horizontal flight and conversely.
