The Powered Lift Facility (PLF) is a unique and valuable ground test facility at the NASA Lewis Research Center designed to accommodate several types of test programs that support the analytical and experimental research on supersonic short-takeoff and vertical-landing (SSTOVL) aircraft. Major systems of the PLF are discussed: thrust balance, air supply, mass flow measuring, instrumentation and data acquisition, and auxiliary support. For potential users of the PLF, details are given about the requirements for model design, instrumentation, and deliverables.
