Computer History Archives Project (CHAP) | Vintage Film "Technology of the 1990's" (Grumman Aerospace, VTOL, radar, Northrop, space, F-14) @ComputerHistoryArchivesProject | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Original vintage 1980's Grumman Aerospace film "Technology of the 1990's" shows technological advancements and predictions for 1990's technology in aerospace engineering, high-speed aircraft, computerized radar, vertical and/or short take-off and landing (V/STOL), vertical take off and landing (VTOL), and advanced systems integration. Excerpt Runs 12 minutes.
Grumman Aerospace was prime contractor on development of the Apollo Lunar modules and a leader in aerospace technologies during the 1960's up to 1994, when it merged with Northrop to form "Northrop Grumman." (We may upload full version at a later date.)
Key Topics include:
Aerospace Engineering
Grumman Corporation, Northrop Grumman
Electronics, Aviation, Aerospace
F-14 Tomcat aircraft
RADAR, Beam Maker, Space Construction
What is the difference between VTOL and V/STOL?
A vertical and/or short take-off and landing (V/STOL) aircraft is an airplane able to take-off or land vertically or on short runways. Vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft are a subset of V/STOL craft that do not require runways at all.
