The XFV-12A, a unique V/STOL technology prototype aircraft being developed for the Navy, is described. The innovative design features a thrust augmented wing and a canard ejector. Structural, functional, and control test performances are discussed. Static tether test results are also discussed. Assessment of test results are given along with projections for future modification areas.
