The techniques of VSTOL transition flight are explained using the Do 31 as an example. The problems presented by formulation and control of the transition flight path and their influence on transition performance are discussed in detail. The results of the Do 31 flight tests mainly concern the operation of V/STOL-aircraft. They are: take off transition is relatively easy; landing transition is very difficult and therefore uneconomic. The V/STOL operation can be improved by installation of a double control stick and an autopilot, maximum available deceleration can then be used, which is a positive safety factor in the case of an engine failure.
