Assessed are the risks associated with the lift/cruise fan technology V/STOL aircraft program. Three candidate concepts for the technology aircraft design approach are considered: the lowspeed only modification, the full performance modification, and the all new aircraft concepts. Survey results indicate that the lift/cruise fan technology aircraft program is feasible, from the standpoint of technical risk, with some evidence of uncertainty of meeting the planned schedule and relatively minor impact on estimated program costs.
