Factors that have a major influence on cost in airframe, engine, and helicopter procurement and operation are identified, current cost-reduction efforts are reviewed, and technical programs that offer potential for lowering costs are proposed for possible implementation by NASA. In view of the growing impact of increasing fuel costs on the life-cycle cost of aircraft vehicles, major attention is given to operating and maintenance costs as well as to manufacturing costs. Seven general conclusions are reached, recommendations made, and thirty-two specific programs are proposed.
