This rept. includes: THE TOPOLOGY OF THE AERODYNAMIC PARAMETERS OF AN AIRPLANE WITH A JET-AUGMENTED FLAP, by William H. Wentz, Jr. Thesis. June 61, 58p. incl. illus. A preliminary analysis has been made of an STOL transport of 35,000 pounds gross weight equipped with features that produce a total performance not heretofore achieved in a single airplane. The prime goal of the analysis was to secure an airplane in which a pilot could consistently achieve landings such that the landing field length is the same as the best performance of the airplane. The landing distance of this airplane is 1170 feet and the take-off distance is 1380 feet, both over a 50-foot obstacle at ICAO standard sea level conditions. A method of analysis is described which involves the use of trailing edge flaps deflected to 100 degree and the use of thrust to flare the airplane. The control of the airplane L/D ratio makes it possible to achieve consistently the above landing distances. (Author).
