Recent results from wind-tunnel and flight-tests investigations for V/STOL aircraft were reviewed. Primary emphasis is given to technical results relating to three types of subsonic aircraft: a quiet STOL aircraft; a tilt rotor aircraft, and a turbofan V/STOL aircraft. Comparison and correlation between theoretical and experimental results, and between wind-tunnel and flight-test results, is made. The quiet STOL aircraft technology results are primarily those derived from the NASA/Boeing Quiet Short Haul Aircraft (QSRA) program. The tilt rotor aircraft technology results are those obtained from the NASA/Army/Navy/Bell (XV-15-TRRA) aircraft flight investigations. The turbofan V/STOL aircraft technology results are from static ground facility and wind-tunnel investigations of a NASA/Navy/Grumman full-scale lift/cruise fan aircraft model, which features two tilting nacelles with TF-34 engines.
