Abstract
A summary of information on airplane aerodynamics, ground effects, propulsion system aerodynamics, stability and control, and flying qualities of jet V/STOL airplanes - both direct jet lift and lift fan configurations is presented. The information is applicable to high-speed fighter-type airplanes. Research work in the following areas is reviewed:
-
1.
Wind tunnel and other experimental research on jet-induced effects (including ground effects) on the aerodynamics and stability and control in the VTOL, STOL, hovering, and transition ranges of flight.
-
2.
Experimental research on propulsion aerodynamics in the hovering and very low speed ranges of flight.
-
3.
Flight-test experience on the flying qualities of several jet V/STOL airplanes.
