Launch and recovery of RPV's aboard ship has been identified by the Navy as a major design impact area. Vertical attitude take-off and landing offers attractive advantages to the Navy in that ship/RPV interface problems are alleviated. To assess these advantages the Aviation and Surface Effects Department at the Naval Ship Research and Development Center (NSRDC), has designed and constructed a 560 lb demonstration vehicle. This vehicle during 1975 will be flight tested to assess vertical hover capability of the RPV in the turbulent aerodynamic wake generated by a ships superstructure while underway.
