This aircraft and specific application of the blown surface are new to me, thanks very much!Here is a link to Bartoe's original patent, which also notes that reducing noise compared to some other concepts was one of the goals.It's too bad this wasn't developed further. I can can easily imagine, for example, a small subsonic attack jet for close air support able to operate from improvised forward fields or from amphibious assault ships without catapults or arrestor gear and at a fraction of the cost of the complex Harrier.
