Thank you, Engines. Fascinating and am gratified that the British experts are so involved. It's amazing that the huge amount of drag that the lift fan door incurs (even at a lower 35 deg angle) is acceptable during such a critical part of the flight envelope, and the force to close it against the airflow must be huge. I assume the there must be very good reasons that it isn't hinged at the forward end of the door?
