Two considerations proved to be key factors in adoption of Lockheed-California Co's approach; one was related to examination of low-speed vortex flow; other was decision to use large wing-low lift coefficient philosophy, so that resulting airplane attitudes, drag levels, and lift margins at low speed would offer low-speed handling qualities that were better than those for current jet aircraft; ground effect simplifies flare maneuver prior to touchdown; directional and lateral control characteristics combine to provide excellent cross-wind landing characteristics.
