From aeronautical research point of view NASA considers subsonic jet to contain potential of substantial design advances to increase further its usefulness; objectives of research on subsonic jet embrace reduction of landing speeds to enable use of smaller close-in airports, advancement of technology for higher bypass-ratio turbofan engines to reduce noise and fuel consumption, and increase in force-break Mach number to improve cruise-flight efficiency; advanced transports with significantly better profitability and effectiveness than current jets can be realized by refurbishment of existing fleets.
