Flight test experience has been obtained with five test bed aircraft which employed widely differing principles of V/STOL operation. speeds these aircraft were supported by wing lift and in the hovering condition they were supported by engine-produced thrust. used to transfer the lift from the wing to the engine are examined. primary items considered in the transition region are longitudinal trim changes, stability , stalled flow during descending transitions, and the flexibility of the transition procedure of each type of aircraft.
