The study was prepared to provide information to the Civil Aeronautics Board Members and staff on the current status of STOL and VTOL aircraft, terminals, and allied facilities. The study is a consolidation of available information arranged to indicate the consensus of opinion of the various authorities in the field. The major design concepts of STOL and VTOL aircraft and support systems are described in relatively non-technical terms. Included is a brief description of the changing socio-economic aspects of the major metropolitan areas of the nation and their anticipated effects on urban transportation requirements. The study summarizes the probable course of events in the evolution of STOL and VTOL air transportation systems, and future projections. (Author)
