A review is attempted with the objective to indicate the most promising aeronautical technology for application to future subsonic civil transport aircraft.

    Design/methodology/approach

    A methodology is put forward, according to which direct operating costs (DOC) are examined in order to identify those that can be reduced, and, then, specific technology is assessed in relation to its efficiency in reducing these DOC, operational feasibility and cost-effectiveness.

    Findings

    This assessment suggests the selection of propfan and powered lift as the leading future aeronautical technology. These findings are supported by a comparison of a number of advanced technology designs.

    Originality/value

    Provides a starting point for further investigation of advanced aeronautical technology and unconventional configurations for large subsonic civil transport aircraft.
