The C-8A Buffalo Augmentor Wing Jet-STOL research aircraft is a modified version of a high-wing, high-tail, turboprop Buffalo military transport manufactured by DeHavilland, Ltd., of Canada, and designated NASA 716. It is used to study the design and operational characteristics of jet-STOL aircraft using split-flow turbofan engines to provide both propulsive and augmentor wing jet flows for increased powered-lift.
