Discussion is presented of potential market for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft and factors which cause this market to exist; evaluation is given of ability of VTOL aircraft to compete with other means of transportation, along with determination of design criteria that aircraft will be required to meet to be competitive; possible configurations are suggested for various time periods, including examples that are currently being studied; technical implications and requirements of VTOL transportation system are discussed.
