Modulated reverse jet thrust is being employed as means of steepening fixed-wing approach angles, and shortening post-touchdown ground roll in experimental flight program, carried out by de Havilland Aircraft of Canada Ltd; program and parallel analog simulator study improved landing performance in test aircraft by over 50% and developed new and powerful means of controlling approach speed and angle; valuable insight into problems of pilot in performing steep gradient approaches was gained.
