摘要: A vertical or short takeoff and landing aircraft (VSTOL) employing three high bypass turbotip fans disposed in the fuselage faired into upper surfaces of wings, driven by two gas generators to produce lift transition cruise flight such that tripod arrangement for generates stable powered flight. In foregoing generator - fan is an integrated propulsion system having thrust vectoring devices flow control valved ducts between provide all lift, functions, which produces variations ratios various modes operation. Furthermore, lift/cruise nacelles are positioned over wing blended surface adjacent achieve induced through supercirculation reduce sensitivity gust conditions at low air speeds.
