The objective was to evaluate the tilt-wing V/STOL's capabilities, characteristics, and problems; and to determine its readiness for Category 2 testing. Performance, stability and control, and systems operation data were obtained. The XC-142A design objective was to provide a full scale tilt-wing V/STOL transport aircraft with which the operational capabilities could be determined for V/STOL aircraft in general and tilt-wing V/STOL aircraft in particular. It was not intended to be a production model. As a concept evaluation vehicle it was generally satisfactory. The aircraft was safe and simple to fly. (Author)
