Zusammenfassung:PCT No. PCT/US82/01357 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 29, 1982 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 29, 1982 PCT Filed Sep. 29, 1982 PCT Pub. No. WO84/01341 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 12, 1984.A short takeoff and landing aircraft (10) and vertical/short takeoff and landing aircraft (10), having upper surface blowing engines (12, 14) on gull-shaped wings (24, 26) which may be tilted and translated by a variable incidence translation device (52). The translation means (80, 62, 64) is adapted to provide center of gravity travel trim and critical engine out moment trim. Thrust vectoring of the upper surface blowing engines is accomplished by a combination of the upper surface blowing and wing tilt, and vectoring of lower lift/boost engines (124, 126) is accomplished by swiveling nozzles (138, 140). Critical engine out lateral trim is accomplished by a combination of airplane bank and differential vectoring by the lower lift/boost engines (124, 126).
