ASTOVL (Advanced Submarine Technology)

ASTOVL (Advanced Short Takeoff and Vertical Landing) is a technology concept focused on aircraft capable of operating from smaller or less conventional bases. It emphasizes the development of aircraft that can take off and land vertically or on short runways, enhancing operational flexibility. While commonly associated with military aviation, such as specialized fighter jets, ASTOVL principles can be applied to advanced aircraft systems, including those integrated with submarines or other platforms, to improve their versatility, rapid deployment, and tactical effectiveness without needing large airfields.
