Several aspects of V/STOLs for short-haul transportation are considered: production time needed to produce a craft with suitable operational characteristics, profitable operation, noise, safety and reliability, air traffic system control, landing facilities, passenger comfort, marketability, size.The author urges that a joint effort by military and civilian departments of the government and industry be undertaken to develop a V/STOL transport system. Factors to be considered are discussed.
