Systems design and a general description of facilities for studying hovering vertical takeoff, and vertical landing of VTOL aircraft are given. The facilities are divided into the following four main groups: ground support facilities, constrained test rigs, measuring apparatuses and ground establishment. Ground support facilities are provided for the operation and maintenance of the FTB, including those for rework, supply, inspection, adjustment and experiment. Constrained test rigs for the safety of over-all preflight experiments contain a force test rig, a height control test rig, and attitude control test rig and tie down test rigs. Measuring apparatus for the collection of precious data on the first VTOL flights in Japan are arranged in combination with special wiring, telemetering and others. Ground establishments for large scale field experiments consist of buildings, a constrained test field, and a free flight test field. (Author)
