Report
An overview of some possible avenues of development for New York's air transportation system from now until 1980.
Report
Description of a method for assessing the effectiveness of alternative airport locations, passenger terminal locations, and mass transportation systems involved in processing air passengers to their destinations in a large metropolitan area.
Report
Description and analysis of the costs, benefits, and operational consequences of alternative enlarged air transportation systems for the New York region.
Report
Text of the Ninth Annual Lester D. Gardner Lecture, presented by the author under the auspices of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, May 1968. Air transport history is reviewed by a participa...
Report
An examination of the problems of commercial air transportation in the 1970s, with emphasis on subsonic passenger vehicles that will be in operation by 1975. Major air transportation problems in the 1970s will be concentrated in and around the termi...
Report
A discussion of possible uses and limitations of systems analysis as an aid in air transportation planning. Following general remarks on the subject, consideration is given to the application of systems analysis to a few arbitrarily selected nonmilit...
Report
A consideration of some design criteria for cargo, passenger, and deployment air transportation in the 1975-1985 time period.
Report
A broad forecast of the air transport picture in the years 1980 to 2000.
Report
A description of the general nature of U.S. aviation involvement with underdeveloped countries. Some of its consequences are examined, and a few of the special problems that the air transport function poses for the pursuit of economic development obj...
Report
A discussion of the use of various programming techniques to determine the nature and magnitude of the major military airlift missions and the best mix of airlift resources to perform these missions. The study examines the strong tradeoff between fl...
Report
A 1959 discussion of the use of various operations research techniques to determine the nature and magnitude of the major military airlift missions and the best combination of aircraft and trained personnel to perform these missions. The approach us...
Report
A discussion of military air transport and of the circumstances in which it may be desirable to procure supersonic transports. This 1958 study attempts to show that a decision to spend military research and development funds on a supersonic transport...
Report
A proposed new identification system in which all U.S. aircraft and all ZI penetrating aircraft would be required to carry a transmitter emitting altitude and ID information. This system would enable ground stations to obtain full position informatio...
Report
An application of a mathematical model to determine aircraft procurement policies. Wartime airlift requirements, worldwide route structure, and the physical characteristics of candidate intercontinental transport aircraft are considered. The model pe...
Report
An application of linear programming methods to month-to-month airlift planning within the U. S. Military Air Transport Service (MATS) Linear programming methods are substituted for trial-and-error calculations in an attempt (1) to diminish the time ...
Report
A 1955 discussion of logistic studies of the movement of passengers and cargo for the military establishment overseas, with special emphasis on the MATS mission in war and in peace....
Report
Condensed version of a 1955 study (RM1380) of means of improving the efficiency of airlift operations.
Report
A 1955 study of means of improving the efficiency of airlift operations.
Report
A development of a mathematical model of an air transportation system in order to study the most efficient program of operations for transporting a given amount of goods between two fixed locations per unit of time.
