The European jet lift V/STOL was examined in order to illustrate the extent to which the power plant has affected aircraft layout and consequently the aerodynamic design. Direct comparisons of V/STOL with contemporary conventional layouts are made. The successful Harrier's aerodynamic progress is highlighted. Promised engine performance advances are shown to offer more aerodynamic freedoms to V/STOL design.
