Minimum takeoff and landing distances are calculated for 2 overloaded, propeller driven, tilt wing VTOL aircraft; effects of flap setting, propeller thrust variation with forward speed, runway surface, wing tilt rate and flap boundary layer control are considered at various thrust to weight ratios; it appears that takeoff to landing from 50-ft obstacle can be achieved in 500 ft at all-up-weight (AUW) between 40% and 50% greater than VTO AUW, depending on assumed thrust variation with forward speed.
