The Jet Lift Controversy

Abstract

FEW advances in aircraft design have aroused such intense controversy as that which at present surrounds the philosophy of jet lift vertical take‐off and landing techniques. On the one hand, there are the disciples of the composite power plant system, and on the other, those who adhere to the vectored thrust solution; both factions being equally certain that their particular technique provides the best answer to the jet lift problem.
