An investigation of the longitudinal and lateral stability and control and performance characteristics of a six-propeller deflected-slipstream vertical-take-off-and-landing (VTOL) model in the transition speed range was conducted in the 17-foot test section of the Langley 300-MPH, 7- by 10-foot tunnel. A complete analysis of the data was not conducted. A modest amount of blowing boundary-layer control was necessary to achieve transition without wing stall.
