This configuration is now under development by a number of companies, including de Havilland Aircraft of Canada, as a future supersonic replacement for Harrier-type vertical take-off and landing fighters. Design would employ some kind of thrust augmentation system such as de Havilland's Ejector Lift/Vectored Thrust. 3, record 1, English, - short%20take%2Doff%20and%20vertical%20landing

Thrust augmentation system developed by de Havilland Aircraft of Canada to increase vertical lift characteristics of proposed supersonic short takeoff and vertical landing fighter aircraft. Basically, an ejector mixes a secondary flow of air with the primary flow from a turbofan engine within an encasing shroud. This has the effect of increasing the thrust by 50 to 100 percent. Augmented primary thrust is ejected through a nozzle. When the ejector is within or part of the fuselage, it is referred to as a fuselage ejector, or fuselage ejector lift. 1, record 2, English, - ejector%20lift%2Fvectored%20thrust
