A circulation Control Wing (CCW) Flight Demonstrator was designed and built by Grumman Aerospace Corporation (GAC) using a modified A-6A airplane. The design was a joint effort by David Taylor Naval Ship Research and Development Center (DTNSRDC) and GAC based on research originated by DTNSRDC. The airplane demonstrated significant STOL potential. COmpared to the basic A-6A airplane, takeoff and landing roll distances were improved by 36% and 43%, respectively. Maximum CL was increased by 80%. Some Handling Qualities problems are discussed. The CCW concept was shown to be a viable, simple, and powerful STOL tool for use in future designs. (Author)
