The beneficial aspects of an ejector powered V/STOL concept were reviewed. The feasibility of satisfactorily incorporating an ejector system in a high performance V/STOL aircraft was investigated. The external augmentor concept, based on the use of chordwise ejector slots, is presented. It is concluded that the external augmentor concept has a basic inherent simplicity and a sufficient augmentor performance potential to make feasible a high performance V/STOL aircraft based on ejectors.
