Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) Airplanes
Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) airplanes are designed to be able to function on relatively short runways. (Short Takeoff and Landing STOL Airplanes)
Their designs usually employ wings and high-lift devices on the wings optimized for best performance during takeoff and landing, as distinguished from an airplane that has a wing optimized for high-speed cruise at high altitude. STOL airplanes are usually cargo airplanes, although some serve in a passenger-carrying capacity as well. (Short Takeoff and Landing STOL Airplanes)
