STOL

(Acronym for short takeoff and landing) aircraft fitted with special devices on the wings (such as sucking flaps) that increase aerodynamic lift at low speeds. Small passenger and freight STOL craft are commonly used in difficult terrain; STOLports (airports designed for STOL aircraft) are rare, but a notable example is London City Airport, located in the Docklands area of the city.
