A two-engine three-fan V/STOL airplane was designed to demonstrate and develop the technology for operational V/STOL and STO-VL aircraft having safe engine-out characteristics. Engine-out requirements, integration of propulsion and aerodynamic controls, and propulsion installation are the major factors affecting the configuration. Use of variable pitch fans enhances the control system providing a responsive and versatile airplane. The ability to operate over the entire flight spectrum from zero speed to M = 0.8 is required to demonstrate operational capability with a V/STOL system.
