Section II provides a summary of the major findings and conclusions of the study. Section III contains the estimates of potential free-world traffic available to the SST's. In section IV, estimates of the direct operating costs of the various aircraft concepts are developed and compared. Section V provides a comparative analysis of the profitability potential of alternative SST concepts. In section VI, the SST traffic potential is translated into estimates of the free-world market for the SST in general and for U.S.-built SST's in particular in the light of the cost and profitability findings. Section VII, the final section, is an assessment of possible requirements for government support of a U.S. SST program and of the forms in which such support might be made available. Appendixes A and B provide additional background information on the aircraft market analysis and the direct operating cost analysis, respectively. Appendix C is a summarization of the findings of the air passenger survey conducted by the Institute. (Author)
