Providing next-generation fighter aircraft with STOL capability will require effective high-lift systems, methods of providing adequate longitudinal trim and control, and thrust reversers compatible with advanced configurations. Recent wind-tunnel tests in the NASA Langley 4 x 7-m tunnel have provided the opportunity to investigate some promising technologies for providing this STOL capability. These tests include investigations of the high-lift contribution of spanwise blowing on a trailing-edge flap system, the trim capability of a blown high-lift canard, and the deceleration contribution of a thrust reverser for ground-roll reduction. This paper reviews the results of each investigation and examines the integration of these technologies on a common advanced-fighter configuration to determine their compatibility and the resulting overall performance of the configurations.
