The Boeing YC-14, being first flown in 1976, was an impressive aeronautical achievement. The YC-14 program management consistently embraced new technologies, such as the use of "fly-by-light" flight controls and use of digital airframe design--technologies that would later become mainstream for Boeing. This aircraft signaled many firsts in aircraft design, the most prominent being the use of upper-surface blowing (which turned the jet engine flow downward), combined with boundary-layer control, to allow flight at amazingly low airspeeds.
To place the reader in the pilot's seat, Boeing and Air Force test pilots provide their reflections of the handling and Although this book is about a specific airplane type, it is just as much about the YC-14 design team that created a multiorganizational culture, unafraid to "draw outside the lines," to create a dramatically capable airplane.
