State-of-the-technology powered-lift STOL aircraft can develop very high lift coefficients. The determination of how this high lift capability can be utilized for landing approaches is accomplished by evaluating aircraft velocity versus flightpath performance. This paper briefly discusses upper-surface-blowing power-lift technology and some of the significant features of the velocity versus flightpath plot that are used in evaluating the performance of powered-lift aircraft. A procedure for deriving the velocity versus flightpath plot for a powered-lift aircraft at any specified weight at sea level, based on flight-test data obtained at various weights and altitudes, is discussed in detail. Actual flight-test data obtained with NASA's Quiet Short-Haul Research Aircraft (QSRA) are used to illustrate this procedure and to evaluate the results.
