This specification covers a mid-wing, lift-fan powered research aircraft. It shall be propelled by two G. E. X353-5B propulsion systems. It shall be capable of VTOL and STOL in the fan-supported flight mode. The aircraft shall be capable of conventional wing-supported flight at high subsonic speeds. The aircraft shall also be capable of transition from zero horizontal speed to high horizontal speed and return through transition to hovering flight. It shall be capable of conventional take-off and landing. During wing-supported flight, conventional control surfaces shall be utilized. During fan supported flight, control shall be accomplished through modulation of the arflow through the fans. (Author)
