Paper is concerned with airline re-equipment decision of 1970's; higher bypass ratios, higher turbine inlet temperatures, and substantially advanced structural concepts point in direction of lower direct operating costs; analysis is made using "new technology" engines on older fleets of large jet transports; results show that domestic operators have little to gain; longer range, intercontinental operators may find engine conversion attractive for some route segments where range is critical; estimate is made of airplane size which will maximize cost-reduction potential of engines.
