The paper reviews some of the recent technological developments in the United States in the field of rotorcraft and powered-lift research, with primary emphasis on the compound helicopter and the augmentor thrust approaches to vertical flight. The last several years have seen significant developments in the state of the art through the combined use of wind tunnels, simulators, and research aircraft. The results of several representative studies are discussed to demonstrate the improvements that have been made in several of the important vehicle-related parameters. The prospect for further advances is also discussed.
