Abstract
The gas turbine requirements for V/STOL aircraft are strongly influenced by the type of airplane and the mission to be performed. For pusposes of this paper, the gas turbine requirements are established in several propulsion-system concepts which encompass the majority of engine requirements necessary to the V/STOL airplanes. General requirements are explored which are common to gas turbines regardless of mission or airplane type. Specific requirements for the air-superiority fighter airplane, the subsonic fighter attack airplane, and the transport-cargo type of airplane are discussed. These three types of airplanes are propelled by propulsion systems incorporating lift turbojet engines, turbofan engines, fans with remote gas generators, and turboprop engines.
