V/STOL aerodynamics: A review of the technology

D. H. Hickey

Abstract

An analysis of the development and technological applications of V/STOL aircraft is presented. The use of V/STOL aircraft to overcome the limitations of conventional aircraft is discussed. The aspects of V/STOL aircraft which are considered are: (1) economic penalties of propulsive lift, (2) advantages of propulsive lift, (3) potential improvements in V/STOL aircraft, (4) the aerodynamics of V/STOL aircraft, and (5) proposals for additional research in V/STOL development.
