Effect of high lift flap systems on the conceptual design of a 1985 short-haul commercial STOL tilt rotor transport [PDF]
The performances of a derivative concept of a 1985 STOL tilt rotor transport, and of a second concept having a complex mechanical flap system similar to a short field B737 aircraft were compared for a 370 kilometer (200 nautical mile) short haul mission.
