A powered-lift, reduced thrust takeoff performance program utilizing quiet short-haul research aircraft has been conducted. It has been shown that the powered-lift upper surface blowing concept greatly enhances aircraft takeoff performance. The improvements include: (1) takeoff field lengths may be shortened by approximately 30%; (2) Air Force critical field lengths may be shortened by approximately 60%; (3) powered lift upper surface blowing aircraft have better handling and performance characteristics than comparable conventional aircraft; and (4) the low speeds associated with powered-lift takeoff enhance safety margins.
