Now Playing: NASA Five Person VTOL Business Jet
  • Description:  VTOL business jet that utilizes circulation control nacelle technology, along with a damped brake nacelle tilting mechanism. The use of circulation control on the nacelle permits variable disc loading depending on whether the aircraft is in hover or cruise flight. This concept is based on the work performed collaboratively between NASA and Grumman on the Tilt Nacelle 698 concept back in the 1980s under the leadership of Bob Kress.
