The Quiet Short-Haul Research Aircraft (QSRA) is a new research aircraft which NASA will use as a flight-test facility for advanced flight experiments in terminal area operations. The data resulting from the QSRA flight research program will be used by the U.S. aircraft industry to establish design criteria and by regulatory agencies to establish certification criteria for advanced STOL aircraft. The total funding for the QSRA was established at $29 million in January 1974. Attention is given to an aircraft description, wind-tunnel results, simulation, predicted aircraft performance, initial airworthiness flight tests, design configuration studies, and training studies.
