I saw this airplane demonstrated at the RAF Mildenhall Air Show in 1977. It
was a brilliant airplane: very quiet and agile. It could land in a few
hundred feet, back up and takeoff again in just about the same landing
distance.

it was called the "coda" effect high lift and take off at 100 feet...

Isn't that a little dangerous in the "one engine off" case?

That is what a NASA engineer told me too. I spoke to him during an SAE
conference several years ago. NASA was involved in the analization of both
the YC-14 and YC-15. During takeoff and landing, symetrical lift is
critical. This engine out scenario contributed to McDonnel's "winning" the
competition, although there was no production contract. The design
requirements changed, and the designs were recompeted with an aircraft large
enough to carry an M-1 tank. This led to the C-17. Boeing's entry was a 3
engine variant of the YC-14.

The embarrassing thing for me is that I saw both of these aircraft as couple
of years ago at the Davis Monthan AFB Bone Yards and at the nearby Pima Air
and Space Museum. I say embarrassing because I thought it would be
interesting for people to see them as they are today. Unfortunately either
I didn't take any shots of them or I misplaced the files.


DAMN IT!!!
