Capabilities and Operating Costs of Possible Future Transport Airplanes

Thomas V. Jones

ResearchPublished 1953

An attempt to determine the capabilities and operating costs of potential transport aircraft. This report (1) illustrates how aircraft should be compared in performing a logistics job by providing a sample operational analysis of transport airplane use and (2) discusses the design and analysis of many possible future transport aircraft which could be operational in 8 to 10 years if the necessary engine and airframe development were carried on from the present time.
