In this report the scope of work under the above contract is reviewed and the progress of the design is explained. An outline of the proposed research prototype which the contractor is building is then given, followed by the results of feasibility and performance potential studies for the subject aircraft and a financial statement relating to the work accomplished. It is concluded that the stabilization and control of the aircraft in the manner proposed - the propulsive jets are used to control the aircraft - is feasible and the aircraft can be designed to have satisfactory handling through the whole flight range from ground cushion take-off to supersonic flight at very high altitude. Supersonic tests show that the calculated thrust potential with the present design will provide a much superior performance to that estimated at the start of contract negotiations, with a top speed potential between Mach 3 and Mach 4, a ceiling of over 100,000 ft. and a maximum range with allowances of about 1,000 nautical miles. Additional tests to completely substantiate this performance are shown to be required. Development and production aspects are briefly reviewed and an outline new program broader in scope than the study now completed is presented (to dovetail with the development envisaged), together with an accompanying cost estimate. This estimate covers a period of 18 to 24 months in the total amount of $3,168,000.
