A Structural Approach to Military Air Transportation.
Expert InsightsPublished 1959
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 used considers the strong tradeoff between flying hours and fleet composition, evaluates the potential contribution of the commercial fleet in the context of planning for the military fleet, and separates mission requirements into discrete periods to permit evaluation of the imputed cost of airlift in different periods. 14 pp.
