Problems associated with installing advanced self-contained lift fan engine in wing pods are examined showing that community noise levels can be approached which will permit city-center aircraft operation; advantages of using multiple self-contained lift fans and installation problems such as design of low noise level air intake systems; methods of providing aircraft control during transition and engine thrust deflection for acceleration are examined; it is found podded installations of low noise level self-contained lift fans can be designed within same installed volume as equivalent RB 162 lift jet installation of type flying in Dornier DO 31 military VTOL transport aircraft.
