Study covers basic ground interference phenomena associated with VTOL aircraft; underlying causes of various types of ground effects are indicated and means of minimizing detrimental ground effects when they exist; it is found that helicopter and other rotor aircraft experience favorable ground effect; for propeller VTOL aircraft tilt wing configurations experience small favorable ground effect; other results.
