Evolution of engine cycles for STOVL propulsion concepts
Short Take-off, Vertical Landing (STOVL) demonstrator concepts using a common ATF engine core are discussed. These concepts include a separate fan and core flow engine cycle, mixed flow STOVL cycles, separate flow cycles convertible to mixed flow, and reaction control system engine air bleed. STOVL propulsion controls are discussed.
