垂直/短距起降STOVL战斗机的发展在上世纪60年代出现了高潮,世界主要航空技术国家都开展了相关技术的研究,作为这个阶段型号开发的先行者和成功者,英国和苏联批量生产的“鹞”和雅克-38都达到了装备服役的实用标准。美国航空科研和生产水平从二战后就处于世界领先的地位,美国航空企业虽然拥有足够满足STOVL研制的技术基础,但在当时大规模开发的热潮中却显得比较迟钝,不但在亚音速型号发展上没有什么 Vertical / short takeoff and landing STOVL fighter development in the climax of the 60s of last century, the world’s major aviation technology countries have carried out research on related technologies, as the forerunner and winner of this stage model development, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union mass production “鹞 ” and Jacques -38 have reached the practical standard of service of equipment. American aviation research and production level in the world after World War II in the world’s leading position, although the United States aviation enterprises have enough to meet the technical basis of STOVL development, but at the time of large-scale development craze is relatively slow, not only in the development of subsonic models nothing much
