NASAs first three years of flight research in an investigation of terminal area flight operation with the Quiet Short-Haul Research Aircraft (QSRA) are presented. An initial flight and modification program was devoted to improving the capabilities of the QSRA and measuring its performance. Later programs included a joint program with the US Navy, a guest pilot program involving 23 pilots from 16 organizations, and a program to measure benefits of propulsive-lift to CTOL aircraft. Development flight research, complemented by the aircraft modification program, has resulted in improvements in the maximum lift coefficient of more than two units, and has greatly improved flight characteristics and handling qualities.
