Estimated STOVL Strike Fighter Danger Area.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA251402 | Need Help?

Abstract:

The AV-8B short-takeoff vertical-landing STOVL aircraft requires personnel to remain 50 feet away during vertical operations due to impinging gas effects. In future STOVL aircraft vertical thrust will be greater, with a potentially larger danger area. This memorandum examines the factors that determine the size of the danger area and models the amount of area future STOVL aircraft will need.
