ADVANCED LIFT FAN SYSTEM (LFX) STUDY CONTINUATION

Abstract

A preliminary design of an advanced lift fan propulsion system is presented. The V/STOL system is designed to utilize the General Electric J97 gas generator, together with fans having a high degree of inherent control capability during vertical mode flight. A technology development and acquisition plan leading to MQT in 1970 is identified.
