Human engineering characteristics of VTOL aircraft, such as control, noise, downwash effects, etc, are readily apparent to pilot and strongly affect his opinion of aircraft; examples referring to these characteristics are drawn from following VTOL testbeds in advanced stages of flight test: Doak Model-16 ducted fan, Vertol Model76 tilt wing, McDonnell XV-1 unloaded rotor, and Bell XV-3 tilt rotor.
