Current status of "in-flight reverse thrust" system developed by de Haviland Aircraft of Canada Ltd, to improve STOL capabilities of aircraft as part of basic research into problems of slow flight; latest research plane is DHC Otter with 2 Pratt and Whitney PT-6 turboprop engines whose propellers immerse much larger proportion of wing and flaps in slipstream than single-engine installation; engineering problems involved in integrating results of previous experiments into single aircraft have been largely solved and lessons which are being learned can undoubtedly be applied to later and larger aircraft.
