The AV-8B short-takeoff vertical-landing (STOVL) aircraft requires personnel to remain 50 feet away during vertical operations due to impinging gas effects. In future STOVL aircraft vertical thrust will be greater, with a potentially larger danger area. This memorandum examines the factors that determine the size of the danger area and models the amount of area future STOVL aircraft will need.
