This volume continues the proceedings of the 1975 workshop on prediction methods for Jet V/STOL Propulsion Aerodynamics held at the Institute for Defense Analyses, Arlington, VA. This workshop was sponsored by the Naval Air Systems Command. The workshop participants included representatives from industry, government, universities and abroad.

High speed V/STOL aircraft operating from widely dispersed platforms have become of increasing interest to the U.S. Navy. The dispersed force concept requires a well developed technology base, involving phenomena and problems which do not occur on conventional aircraft or low speed V/STOL craft. Proper design must account for the interdependence of aerodynamic and propulsion phenomena, and flows so complex that purely theoretical prediction is precluded at present. A two-volume report is made on a 1975 workshop to study these interactions.
