Examined here are the market, infrastructure, technology, and policy requirements for sustained commercial tilt-rotor service between the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) aviation service area and other cities in the high-volume short-haul market. The study seeks to add a degree of realism to earlier studies by incorporating potential passenger reactions to an innovative vehicle that to many people evokes an association with helicopters. The primary objective is to examine the feasibility, benefits, and drawbacks of using the major Port Authority airports to support tilt-rotor service to high volume destinations currently served by turboprop aircraft operated by regional airlines. Also examined is an airport-based tilt-rotor system between PANYNJ airports and Washington and Boston. These cities are significant because they account for 40 percent of short-haul passenger traffic at PANYNJ airports, and could potentially support commercial tilt-rotor service even at moderate or low tilt-rotor market share.
