Ames Research Center used deflected-jet VTOL research vehicle extensively to investigate handling qualities requirements for VTOL aircraft; some power plant problems encountered were thrust loss due to hot gas ingestion, compressor damage due to ingestion of ground erosion debris, negative ground effect or "suckdown" and demands on engines for high thrust as well as bleed air supply for reaction controls.
