Development of Fairchild J44 jet for powering missiles; latest version, installed in Ryan Firebee is 79.75 in. long, has max diam of 22 in. and dry weight of 345 lb, and develops thrust of 1000 lb; research Bell VTO aircraft has two J44s installed, one on each side of fuselage, in vertical position so that combined thrust exceeds gross weight of aircraft; when aircraft reaches required altitude, engines rotate until axes are in horizontal plane; application in boundary layer control.
