The distinction between STOVL and V/STOL is largely a matter of naming. As it stands, no one has operationally deployed a fixed-wing aircraft that can land vertically, but cannot take off vertically. All modern aircraft referred to as STOVL or V/STOL are, in technical terms, VTOL (as well as STOL) capable aircraft.

2019年8月30日 · $\begingroup$ At the time this question is asked the UK has not operated Harriers for eight years, has only one commissioned aircraft carrier, and that uses a STOVL configuration. When the Royal Navy did operate Harriers they flew from carriers that also used the STOVL configuration. $\endgroup$ –

2021年7月9日 · The only other mature STOVL system utilizing direct lift is that from X-32. Hawker Sea Hawk shot by Smudge 9000 under CC-SA 2.0 licence. Harriers seem to inherit elements from Sea Hawk, that the exhaust from a single engine is diverted to two side exhausts.

2024年4月21日 · The F-35-B STOVL variant of the Lockheed-Martin F-35 Lightning II gets its V/STOL / STOVL capabilities from the Rolls-Royce LiftSystem, which consists of four main components: The Three Bearing Swivel Module (3BSM), which allows to turn the nozzle downwards 90° in order to act as a vertical lift system.

2020年1月5日 · On the X-35B’s STOVL variant, the doors above the lift fan had a bi-fold arrangement: They folded and slid outward, creating an opening for air to enter the fan. However, when the airplane was slowed to a hover, the air flowing across the top of the aircraft would not on its own make the turn into the fan efficiently; it needed to be guided.

2017年2月15日 · Actually, the picture above is USMC (US Marine Corps),s F-35B, which he have a STOVL (Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing) capability. That aircraft hovers using a Rolls-Royce Allison fan to lift itself. The Rolls-Royce Lift System works like this image: The lifting system itself moved by the F-35's engine. The pilot works at the pitch of the ...

2017年12月5日 · VTOL (and STOVL) are concepts which were conceived as a result of not having large aircraft carriers or the space for a long runway. The primary feature of these aircraft is to enable them to take off and land using a minimum of runway distance, but in order to achieve this compromises have been made with the designs.

2019年10月16日 · 1) It isn’t a question of whether a STOVL aircraft can takeoff on the angled deck of a CATOBAR ship, It’s a question of how much payload the jet can carry doing so. Short takeoff aircraft like the Harrier or F-35B can only perform short takeoffs aboard ship with limited warlords as compared with jets launched by catapult.

2021年12月14日 · Disadvantage: Four nozzles required, splitting the exhaust from a single engine. Difficult engineering problems as demonstrated by the XFV-12, and piloting problems by having to keep the nose into the wind at vertical take-off. The STOVL F-35B Lightning II uses a separate shaft driven lift fan. Image source and credits; 2. Post Stall Technology.
