Wind tunnel tests to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of basically similar short takeoff aircraft were conducted. The investigations were designed to provide data for a systematic direct comparison of five of the concepts considered. The configurations of the five models are illustrated and described. The aerodynamic data are presented in the form of graphs. It was concluded that the most complex systems require the least amount of net thrust.
