It examines STOL technology and predecessor aircraft, but focuses on the United States Air Force's Advanced Medium STOL Transport (AMST) program and its YC-14 and YC-15 demonstrators. The book describes every step of the process including the needs requirements, technological approaches, design and operation implications, proposals and winning designs, alterations, innovations, cost constraints, construction, and flight testing. STOL aircraft that flew before and after the C-17 are also discussed to illustrate the continuing evolution of the technology. 410 0$aAIAA case study. 606 $aC-17 (Jet transport) 606 $aShort take-off and landing aircraft 606 $aResearch aircraft$zUnited States 615 0$aC-17 (Jet transport) 615 0$aShort take-off and landing aircraft. 615 0$aResearch aircraft 676 $a623.7/465 700 $aNorton$b Bill$f1959-$01871972 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957174503321 996 $aSTOL progenitors$94481007 997 $aUNINA
