What Does STO Stand For?
STO stands for Short Takeoff
STO, or Short Takeoff, refers to a method of aircraft takeoff that allows for minimal runway length utilization. This capability is particularly beneficial for operations in restricted environments or on shorter runways, where traditional takeoff distances may not be feasible. STO is commonly associated with military aircraft and certain commercial jets designed to enhance operational flexibility and efficiency.
