This report presents a general account of a program undertaken by the National Aerospace Laboratory to develop a Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) research aircraft, designated ASKA. The ASKA made its first flight on October 28 1985. Descriptions of the development over the 8 years from 1977 to 1985 are included along with descriptions of the aircraft and its systems, and various development tests. The ASKA is a modified C-1 medium-sized troop and freight transport, manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries for the Air Self-Defence Force. The airframe was made anew and the two engines of C-1 were replaced with four FJR710/600S fan-jet engines arranged as in upper surface blowing system to provide powered lift for STOL operations.
