STOL

Summary

• STOL is an acronym for Short Take-Off and Landing, used in the aircraft industry to describe airplanes with very short runway requirements. Most STOL aircraft are bush planes, though some, like the de Havilland Dash-7, are designed for use on prepared airstrips; likewise, most STOL aircraft are taildraggers, though there are some famous exceptions like the de Havilland Twin Otter and the Peterson 260SE.
