Abstract
From a study program of high bypass ratio turbofans initiated by LTV in 1958 has emerged a new V/STOL turbofan propulsive wing concept. It is a concept which has both military and commercial applications. LTV calls this concept ADAM, meaning Air Deflection and Modulation. A description of the concept is given. Components considered representative of an ADAMM type propulsive wing are: wing, fans and shafts, power turbines, hot gas ducting, gas generators, thrust deflecting flaps, and surface controls. An approach to estimating the weight of unique features of ADAM is discussed.
