Studies of vertical and short takeoff and landing aircraft have shown a significant advantage in payload or performance for the vertical attitude concept. The additional payoff from the incorporation of Post-Stall Combat Maneuvering is identified. The VATOL post-stall control system that requires control at high angle-of-attack, provides a decisive combat advantage over a conventional fighter. The planning for post-stall aerodynamic studies at DTNSRDC and NASA Ames is presented. This includes a large powered model to be tested in the NASA 40- x 80-foot wind tunnel. Progress toward a moving base simulation of the vertical attitude landing is reviewed. Results of design studies indicating the feasibility of a VATOL research aircraft, using an existing propulsion system are outlined along with a possible configuration for an advanced VATOL fighter that incorporates a novel control system.
