The modification of a C-8A (De Havilland Buffalo) aircraft to a STOL configuration is discussed. The modification consisted of the installation of an augmentor-wing jet flap system. System design requirements were investigated for the lateral and directional flight control systems, the lateral and directional axes stability augmentation systems, the engine and Pegasus nozzle control systems, and the hydraulic systems. Operational techniques for STOL landings, control of engine failures, and pilot techniques for improving engine-out go-around performance were examined. Design changes have been identified to correct deficiencies in areas of the airplane control sytems and to improve the airplane flying qualities.
