Research on Fan-Jet STOL aircraft was initiated by NAL in 1975 as a wind-tunnel-based program aimed at the design study of experimental STOL aircraft. Aerodynamic characteristics of the Augmentor Wing type model and the Upper Surface Blowing type models are examined by a series of wind-tunnel tests. Three-component longitudinal data of each model are presented. Six-component lateral data of a USB type model are also presented with four engines operating and with one engine out. The general aerodynamic trends of Powered-Lift systems are discussed through comparison with existing data. Discussions concerning the test-techniques are also included. The research was concluded in 1979, making direct contributions to the basic design of NAL Quiet STOL Experimental Aircraft.
