The ground operation tests of a flying test bed designed to investigate problems of hovering, vertical takeoff, and landing of vertical takeoff aircraft are discussed. During the tests, the flying test bed was fixed on a force test stand at a height of about six feet and controlled remotely from a control room. Total engine running time was about five hours in forty four operations and approximately thirty items were measured in each operation by special wiring, telemetry, and other methods. (Author)
