The characteristics for a quiet turbofan short takeoff aircraft for short haul transportation applications are discussed. The following subjects are examined: (1) representative aircraft configurations, characteristics, and costs associated with the short haul aircraft development and operation, (2) critical technology and technology related problems to be resolved in successful introduction of representative short haul aircraft, (3) relationships between quiet short takeoff aircraft and the economic and social viability of short haul, and (4) identification of high payoff technology areas. In order to properly evaluate the candidate aircraft designs and to determine their economic viability and community acceptance, a real world scenario was developed and projected to 1990. (Author)
