Suggested Specification for a Lift Fan Propulsion System

Abstract

The report presents propulsion system component design requirements believed to be necessary for successful development of operational lift fan aircraft. The work was done for the purpose of identifying lift fan airframe and propulsion system performance and installation interfaces. The requirements presented in the report reflect experience gained from the XV-5A lift fan aircraft flight test program.
