Progress is reviewed made initially by the Future International Military Airlifter (FIMA) Group and, since 1989, by its successor the European Future Large Aircraft Group (EUROFLAG), in studying the potential for development of a collaborative program to satisfy airlift requirements for the 21st century. EUROFLAG studies indicate that future military transport and other Future Large Aircraft (FLA) designs based on mid-1990's, modern but proven technology standards, can provide a greatly enhanced airlift capability at significantly lower fleet life cycle costs and with major manpower savings compared with aircraft in service today. Theses attributes are important in a world climate of shrinking defence budgets, growing manpower shortages and defence scenario uncertainties. European or transatlantic collaboration to develop and manufacture such aircraft is seen as the most economical way for air forces to obtain the operational capability required at the lowest cost.
