"The goal of this
program was to develop multi-mission fighter aircraft
configurations with advanced technologies and
performance characteristics capable of addressing postyear-
2000 needs and threats. Special emphasis was
placed on the design and performance of advanced
aerodynamic control effectors for tailless or reducedtail
concepts. Through a combination of wind-tunnel
testing, performance analyses, and trade studies, a
concept was selected for design refinement, resulting in
the ACWFT 1204 configuration"
