With trend to higher thrust/weight ratios to increase maximum speeds, capability to improve on present conventional takeoff and landing methods is gained; gas turbine power plant has provided stepping stone to development of VTOL aircraft; high power output at low engine weight has made possible static thrust/weight ratios greater than 1 required for vertical takeoff; control of jet VTOL aircraft; importance of aircraft weight.
