Calculated performance and weight data are presented for proposed VTOL aircraft powerplant, which uses highly loaded fans immersed in wings to augment thrust of conventional turbojet engines for hovering; thrust augmentation ratio, shown to be of order of 3.5, implies satisfactory matching of cruising and hovering capabilities of powerplant for high-altitude flight, but surplus of cruising thrust is produced for short low-altitude missions.
