Aerodynamic characteristics of a V/STOL TRANSPORT model with lift and lift-cruise fan power plantsThe aerodynamic characteristics of lift fans mounted ahead of the wing, rotating cruise fans, and tandem mounted lift fans faired into the wing have been studied. The tests results indicated that the complete configurations, that is, the lift-cruise fan and tandem lift fan configurations, had generally acceptable aerodynamic characteristics. The positive induced lift due to fan flow interference with the airplane flow field was a small percentage of the installed thrust but was adequate to provide significant increases in payload with STOL operation.
