In anticipation of an eventual VTOL requirement for civil aviation, NASA has been conducting studies directed toward determining and developing the technology required for a commercial VTOL transport. The commercial transport configurations of such a VTOL transport are briefly reviewed, the propulsion system specifications and components developed by the engine study contractor are presented and described, and methods for using the lift-propulsion system for aircraft attitude control are discussed.
