17. Direct lift remote systems duct the by-pass air or engine exhaust air to downward facing lift nozzles remote from the engine. These nozzles may be in the front fuselage of the aircraft or in the wings. The engine duct is blocked by means of a diverter similar to that described in para. 10.
18. The remote lift-fan (fig. 18-12) is mounted in the aircraft wing or fuselage, and is driven mechanically or by air or gas ducted into a tip turbine, The drive system is provided by the main propulsion power plant or by a separate engine.
