High speed V/STOL aircraft operating from widely dispersed platforms have become of increasing interest to the U.S. Navy. The dispersed force concept requires a well developed technology base, involving phenomena and problems which do not occur on conventional aircraft or low speed V/STOL craft. Proper design must account for the interdependence of aerodynamic and propulsion phenomena, and flows so complex that purely theoretical prediction is precluded at present. A two-volume report is made on a 1975 workshop to study these interactions.
