The study presented in this report is concerned with establishing the potentials of air transportation in the 1970-80's as related to the transportation demands in the Northeast Corridor. A complete systems analysis was undertaken, including the determination of optimum vehicle characteristics, estimation of future direct operating costs, management information requirement scheduling and ground facilities, leading to an estimate of the indirect costs of operating a short haul air system, and the possible fares and travel times. The total system capital investment in vehicles, terminals, navigation equipment, maintenance facilities, etc., was estimated. Current values in 1965 dollars were used in this report. Advanced concepts of engines, aircraft and computer technologies anticipated for the 1970-80 period were taken into consideration in the analysis. (Author)
