From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

V/STOL is an acronym for Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing.

V/STOL aircraft can take-off or land vertically or on short runways.

 

V/STOL has been replaced by STOVL or short takeoff, vertical landing in operation, if not in design.

A rolling takeoff, sometimes with a ramp reduces the amount of thrust required to lift a fully laden aircraft from the ground, and increases the payload and range.

For instance, the Harrier is incapable of taking off vertically with a full weapons and fuel load, and hence is operated as STOVL wherever possible.

The main advantages in the case of the Harrier is closer basing, which reduces response time and tanker support requirements. In the case of the Falklands war, it also permitted high performance fighter air cover and ground attack without a large catapult-based aircraft carrier.

 

  • Separate thrust and lift
    • Mirage "Balzac" V (V stands for vertical and is a modified Mirage III)
    • Mirage III V the first VTOL capable of supersonic flight (Mach 2.03 during tests)
  • Hybrid
    • Lockheed Martin X-35B/F-35B Prototype and production version use a vectored-thrust main engine (the Pratt & Whitney F135), plus a lifting engine (the Rolls-Royce LiftFan�). First aircraft capable of demonstrating transition from vertical to supersonic flight on the same sortie.
