The present air transport system is expected to continue until the turn of the century, but significant technological advances will have been incorporated into the existing aircraft. With a few exceptions, such as the SST, the development of all-new transports will be inhibited by economic constraints. The outlook for advanced transport aircraft concepts in the 21st century indicates new vehicles may be developed, such as air cushion landing gears, away from the airport; flatbed transports, at the airport; and aerial relay transports, in the air. Some of the new technologies and vehicle configurations are discussed, and their impact on aircraft maintenance, airport runways, taxiways, and cargo loading facilities is examined.
