Sea based support aircraft alternatives
Multi-mission, CTOL, STOL and V/STOL aircraft concepts were sized for the Navy ASW/ASUW missions and comparatively evaluated. Initially, technology levels in the areas of lift, control systems, propulsion, advanced materials and avionics were established for the early 1990's. The aircraft were compared to determine the impact of multi-mission requirements, operational considerations, chiefly takeoff mode, as well as the technology advancements. Results presented include performance envelopes, weight statements, growth factors, impact of technology on weight reduction and the impact of design constraints.

Simulation test results for lift/cruise fan research and technology aircraft
A flight simulation program was conducted on the flight simulator for advanced aircraft (FSAA). The flight simulation was a part of a contracted effort to provide a lift/cruise fan V/STOL aircraft mathematical model for flight simulation. The simulated aircraft is a configuration of the Lift/Cruise Fan V/STOL research technology aircraft (RTA). The aircraft was powered by three gas generators driving three fans. One lift fan was installed in the nose of the aircraft, and two lift/cruise fans at the wing root. The thrust of these fans was modulated to provide pitch and roll control, and vectored to provide yaw, side force control, and longitudinal translation. Two versions of the RTA were defined. One was powered by the GE J97/LF460 propulsion system which was gas-coupled for power transfer between fans for control. The other version was powered by DDA XT701 gas generators driving 62 inch variable pitch fans. The flight control system in both versions of the RTA was the same.

Thrust augmentor application for STOL and V/STOL
A general parametric description is suggested for thrust augmentor application to STOL and V/STOL aircraft. The parameters and their relationships are discussed using several aircraft augmentor integration problems. For a STOL transport design, the ram drag is a key consideration, limiting the maximum gross augmentation that can be utilized. Maximizing gross augmentation and balancing the aircraft are key considerations for a V/STOL fighter design. Results from wind tunnel investigations on several different thrust augmentor concepts and system studies on STOL transport designs are also included.

Civil Applications For New V/STOL and STOL Aircraft
New designs offer benefits in congested urban areas and remote regions. Report explores potential uses in civil aviation of advanced rotorcraft, vertical/short-takeoff-and-landing (V/STOL) aircraft, and short-takeoff-and-landing (STOL) aircraft. Future opportunities overcome formidable geographic barriers and lack of major airport facilities, bringing fast, flexible transportation to remote areas. Aircraft relieves congestion at airports in densely populated areas by utilizing pads and short runways without interfering with large-air-carrier traffic.
