The purpose of the study was to examine the time interval and associated discounted program costs of a government sponsored convertible aircraft. Through the use of a computer model, the researchers examined the relationship of deflated Gross National Product growth, historical air commerce trends, and simulated changes in the composition of the U.S. air carrier fleet resulting from the demand for air transportation. Further, the study examined the impact of wide-bodied aircraft lower hold cargo capability on attaining 100 wide-bodied cargo capable aircraft by 1990 as well as reimbursement by airlines for initial government sponsorship costs when convertible aircraft are transitioned to a freighter mode.
