Indications on which market projections can be based point to tremendous growth in air transportation, both passenger and cargo, over next 20 yr, growth so great as to require impractical numbers of aircraft with current capability; new engines with significantly improved specific fuel consumption characteristics and ability to produce thrust up to 3 1/2 times current transport thrust levels open enormous vehicle design possibilities; some market projection data are presented to illustrate future requirements; estimates of size of fleet including effect of higher-capability aircraft in reducing total number otherwise required are presented.
