A general parametric description is suggested for thrust augmentor application to STOL and V/STOL aircraft. The parameters and their relationships are discussed using several aircraft augmentor integration problems. For a STOL transport design, the ram drag is a key consideration, limiting the maximum gross augmentation that can be utilized. Maximizing gross augmentation and balancing the aircraft are key considerations for a V/STOL fighter design. Results from wind tunnel investigations on several different thrust augmentor concepts and system studies on STOL transport designs are also included.
