Conclusions based on study by Rand Co, with view to determining what part air transportation should play in future military operations and what kind of aircraft should be developed to provide airlift capability; cruising speed at which lowest direct cost per ton-mile is achieved; airplanes with turboprop engines provide lower cost per ton-mile than those with compound reciprocating or turbojet engines.
