The capability of the existing NASA Langley Research Center vehicle design evaluation program was studied. The three major areas of expansion were: (1) incorporation into the program of a capability to conduct preliminary design studies on subsonic commercial transport type aircraft using both JP and such alternate fuels as hydrogen and methane; (2) incorporation of an aircraft detailed mission and performance analysis capability; and (3) development and incorporation of an external loads analysis capability.
