Vtol Transport Aircraft. A Brief Discussion of Canadian Requirements and Project Study Results for Tilting-Wing Configurations with Two Propellers and Four Propellers

摘要

A discussion describing some of the many anticipated uses of the VTOL aircraft concludes with some emphasis on the implications of this mode of trans¬port with respect to the Northland and other undeveloped areas. It is also pointed out that propeller-driven transport aircraft, due to the tendency towards increased speed, will have VTOL potential by 1962; hence VTOL transport aircraft may be regarded as a normal evolutionary product.
