The growth picture is based partly on the fact that aviation technology is, today, on the threshold of significant advances in a number of areas. Specific developments which are presently underway include the development of the supersonic transport, short-haul transport, stretched jet, and very large passenger/cargo jet aircraft, such as the C-5 and Boeing 747. In general aviation, the numbers of aircraft are expected to increase from slightly under 100,000 units in 1965 to over 300,000 units in 1980; from slightly over 16 million annual flight hours in 1965 to over 60 million in 1980. These developments will open new passenger and airfreight markets and will result in significant increases in personal flying, as well as in productivity in commercial service. The increase in numbers and complexity of aircraft will also generate requirements for greater numbers of more highly skilled personnel. At a time when aviation is entering its greatest period of growth, a critical problem has developed with respect to availability of highly skilled personnel, particularly pilots and mechanics. This problem has been developing slowly since 1960. (Author)
