Major STOL Modification Planned for Lockheed's HTTB Aircraft

THE Lockheed‐Georgia Company's High Technology Test Bed (HTTB) aircraft — which already holds three STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) time‐to‐climb world records — has entered the modification hangar for its most ambitious enhancement to date … changes that will enable it to land at a speed of ‘arond 80 knots’ and to require no more than 1,500 feet of runway.
