Upper Surface Blowing (USB)
I recall that USB was mentioned in several books of the 1980's, not
simply for transport, but as a method of producing STOL close air support and bombing aircraft. While the russians had a transport, and I believe we also did, I haven't seen much more about USB, and nothign about applying it to tactical attack aircraft. Is this just a case of it never happened because the money wasn't there, or was there somethign in the concept that proved less aimiable to general use than first thought? |
