STOL Tactical Aircraft Investigation. Volume 1. Configuration Definition

Abstract

The overall objective of the design effort was to conduct a preliminary vehicle-sizing activity to establish baseline configurations for the STOL tactical aircraft investigation. These preliminary baselines were used for the takeoff and landing studies and as a point of departure for wind tunnel test planning and flight control technology activities. The lift/propulsion concepts studied were: Externally Blown Flap (EBF); Mechanical Flap plus Vectored Thrust (MF/VT); and Internally Blown Flap (IBF). The report summarizes the design activities for the three-month and six-month configuration reviews.
