Short-haul transportation systems are characterized by low average utilization, high peak but low average passenger demand, severe competition from other transportation modes, high fixed costs and high operating costs. Studies were conducted to analyze the operational requirements and market size for medium-density air transportation. The determination of the aircraft that will most efficiently meet the requirements of this market requires the careful evaluation of variable parameters such as engine cycles, payload, field length range and type of high-lift system. Low noise, low cost and thrust reversing capability are the basic criteria for the propulsion system. It is concluded that aircraft of less than 50-seat capacity cannot generate satisfactory profits operating in the medium-density market.
