The Canadian government and the Canadian aerospace industries have maintained a substantial commitment to the development of STOL and VTOL technology over the past fifteen years. In Canada, as elsewhere, the level of interest of potential users of this technology in the development and operational application of V/STOL systems has varied greatly during this period; nevertheless, since 1960 many of the concepts which have been proposed for achieving short-field or vertical-flight performance have been explored and some have been carried through to full-scale flight systems. Among these are several Canadian developments including the Canadair CX-84 tilt-wing aircraft, the De Havilland Dash-7 STOL transport, and the US-Canada Augmentor Wing Research Aircraft. To support V/STOL development programs and the basic research efforts which have proceeded in parallel with them, the National Aeronautical Establishment of Canada (NAE) has developed specialized facilities for investigating the problems associated with high-lift, low-speed flight. One of these facilities, the NAE Airborne V/STOL Simulator (AVS), is the subject of this paper. (DePo)
