What Does STOL Stand For?
STOL stands for Short Takeoff And Landing
STOL, or Short Takeoff And Landing, refers to a category of aircraft designed to operate from shorter runways than conventional airplanes. These aircraft utilize advanced aerodynamic designs and powerful engines to achieve rapid ascent and descent, enabling them to take off and land in confined spaces. STOL capabilities are particularly beneficial for aviation in remote areas, where runway length may be limited.
