TYPICAL STOL CHARACTERISTICS can be achieved for medium and heavy jet transport aircraft by means of externally blown flaps. As part of a project study conducted by Dornier AG., concerning a 40t STOL transport aircraft, the aerodynamic and flight mechanical feasibility is demonstrated. The basic data was supplied by wind tunnel tests with the model of a transport aircraft. With a view to V/STOL capability, the engine jet deflection was optimised by means of a novel slot flap design on a simple rectangular wing.
