The need for a short haul commercial air transport capable of vertical take-off and landing and having a high cruising speed has become quite evident in recent years. To achieve these requirements, a special type of aircraft had to be developed and it appears that the aircraft needed is the VTOL.This paper presents the reasons for selecting the Tilt-Wing VTOL over other types of VTOL's as being competitive in Commercial Air Transportation. A comparative study of the direct operating cost of a comparable helicopter and fixed wing aircraft with the VTOL is presented along with a comparison of block time and block speed.The operational aspects of the VTOL short haul transport are discussed and the advantages and disadvantages are presented for both commercial and military operations.
