STOL Tactical Aircraft Investigation. Volume 3. Performance Ground Rules and Methods. Book 2, Takeoff and Landing Digital Computer Program.

Abstract

The MILSTOL (MILitary STOL) takeoff and landing digital computer program was developed to compute takeoff and landing characteristics of powered- lift STOL aircraft. It calculates a point mass takeoff and/or landing for a trimmed configuration with either externally blown jet flaps, internally blown jet flaps, or mechanical flaps with vectored thrust. Contained in this report are: Discussion of assumptions and methods used in the trajectory calculations; Definition of common list variables; Definition of the input variables and sample input data for the externally blown jet flap configuration; Sample output for the externally blown flap configuration; and Program listings and flow charts. The program is written in Fortran IV for use on CDC 6000 series digital computers and requires 37 K sub 8 central memory for loading and execution.
