Consideration of aircraft operating costs and costs of providing metropolitan terminals shows that terminal costs are minor parts of total system cost, with result that difference between VTOL and STOL indirect costs is negligible; therefore, STOL aircraft are generally preferred over VTOL for these operations because of lower direct operating costs; procedures for determining takeoff and landing field lengths required for operation of small (under 12,500 lb) commercial transport aircraft into STOLports are examined; it is anticipated that microwave equipment should reduce problem of IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) operations; STOL aircraft are shown to possess low speed handling qualities that significantly ease task of landing in IFR conditions.
