V/STOL aircraft may offer potential solution to short-haul losses of commercial airlines; operational and economic characteristics desirable in V/STOL aircraft, designed for commercial service over routes of 150 mi or less, are examined; current helicopter cost experience is analyzed and results of simulation of helicopter operations over typical short-haul truck line route are reported; V/S TOL cost trends are compared with comparable cost trends of fixed-wing aircraft in short-haul commercial service; economic requirements are discussed and sensitivity of V/STOL costs to changes in various cost determinants is analyzed.
