Abstract

A high augmentation of aerodynamic lift for a given amount of power in STOL operation of a V/STOL aircraft is achieved by combining the unique features of a lifting body with those of a "jet flap", i.e. an aerodynamic mechanism in which a slipstream is directed over a deflected flap. Specifically, a movable flap is located on the trailing edge of the lifting body, and a tiltable propeller, which propels the aircraft in the nomrla manner is cruising, may be tilted, in low-speed flight, in order to direct air toward the leading edge of the flap and over the upper surface. The movement of a large mass of air at a higher velocity over the upper surface of the flap maintains the air flow over the flap in an attached condition.
