Effective mission capability of future V/STOL aircraft demands significant propulsion system advancements in lower specific weight, higher specific performance, improved operational reliability, and improved structural integrity; major design innovations include light weight blades, integrated propeller and gearbox, variable camber, shrouded propellers, and redundant control systems; they were applied to two VTOL aircraft programs, XC-142 and X-22A; paper describes development programs and current hardware status and defines their performance, weight, and functional potentials.
