Study of buoyancy systems for flight vehicles
The performance potential of buoyant systems and flexible structures used in air vehicles for short-haul passenger transportation is discussed. The study was intended only to determine if sufficient performance potential existed, and to provide a focus for a more extensive design study, if such a study appeared desirable. A relatively conventional helium system was examined along with a more unusual configuration employing hot-air as the buoyant fluid. Both configurations were examined in the VTOL and STOL modes of operation. The helium system appears to have some superiority in the VTOL mode, while the hot-air system has a superiority in the STOL mode. Both configurations exhibit sufficient performance potential to suggest that a much more extensive design study might well be undertaken.

Lift/cruise fan V/STOL technology aircraft design definition study. Volume 1: Technology flight vehicle definition
Concept design is presented for two types of lift/cruise fan technology V/STOL aircraft, turbotip fans and the other using mechanically driven fans. The turbotip research technology aircraft reflects maximum usage of existing airframe components. The propulsion system consists of three turbotip fans pneumatically interconnected to three gas generators. Thrust modulation is accomplished by use of energy transfer and control system and thrust reduction modulation. This system can also be operated in the two engine/three fan mode. The mechanical RTA is virtually identical to the turbotip RTA with the exceptions that a different propulsion system and aft fuselage/tail are used. Both aircraft meet or exceed all of the mission performance guidelines and reflect a low cost, low risk approach.
