Remarks by Jos Heyman: "The Mississippi State University XAZ-1 Marvelette was a research aircraft to study the aspects of boundary layer control by means of a variable camber wing of a glass fibre construction, which incorporated a perforated surface and suction pumps. The single aircraft ordered by the US Army, s/n 62-12147, was built from a Greenwood AC-14 by Parsons Co. and flew for the first time on November 16, 1962. By March 1964 it had made 16 flights following which the aircraft was scrapped."
