Military V/S.T.O.L. Transport Aircraft: A review of the background to current jet lift tactical transport proposals
Abstract
SINCE man first aspired to fly the desire to take‐off and land vertically and to hover in flight has always presented a challenge to the engineer. To date only the rotary wing aircraft has achieved these aims in service but their shortcomings in terms of speed, range and economy have encouraged engineers to search for more elegant ways of achieving vertical flight.
