Review of the overall goals, individual objects of ongoing and proposed programs, target dates, and fund requests of NASA's STOL research effort. The realization of a separate STOL short-haul transportation system with a 2000-foot field length capability is shown likely to reduce airport acreage requirements to less than one tenth, approach speed to nearly one half, and airspace required for terminal maneuvering to less than 10% of what conventional high-performance jet aircraft necessitate, and to promise terminal congestion alleviation in areas of high traffic density, improved safety in steep approach, noise abatement, and community annoyance reduction. NASA's described programs will provide the technical foundation upon which industry can base the design and development of aircraft and avionics for the new STOL systems in the latter 1970s, and upon which the government can establish criteria for the certification and regulation of such systems.
