1176. The Aerodynamic Vane Control Aircraft for V/STOL. 1977.
Abstract
This paper is a description of Grumman’s two-engine, two-fan V/STOL Design 698 for ASW/AEW missions. After a brief discussion of the Nutcracker, a predecessor design, the paper presents a description of the unique configuration features of Design 698 rather than attempting to summarize the entire V/STOL program. Concepts discussed include the V/STOL nacelle, composites applications, engine sizing philosophy and the conformal radar, Weight statements and summaries of VTOL weight increments are included,
