Abstract

Minimum take-off and landing distances are calculated for two overloaded, propeller-driven, tilt-wing VTOL aircraft. The effects of flap setting, runway surface, wing tilt rate and flap boundary layer control are considered at various thrust-to-weight ratios. It appears that take-off to and landing from a 50-foot obstacle can be achieved in 400 feet at an all-up-weight 60 percent greater than the VTO all-up- weight.
