The Joint Services Advanced Vertical Lift Aircraft (JVX) Propulsion System

The Joint Services Advanced Vertical Lift Aircraft (JVX) is intended to provide the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps the ability to conduct combat, combat support and combat service support missions requiring vertical takeoff and landing capabilities not currently available. This multi-service and multi-mission application aircraft will maintain as much commonality as possible in meeting these objectives. This paper addresses the features and development of the propulsion system associated with the JVX.
