This paper outlines and discusses several of the important problems which must he solved by the airframe propulsion designer to obtain a high thrust-to-weight ratio lift engine installation. Problems considered include starting, air induction, exhaust, fire protection, and VTO control. The thrust-to-weight ratio degradation from bare engine to final installation is shwon for a typical example. Some installation requirements, which must also be considered by the engine designer, are noted.
