Technological Aspects of Contemporary and Future Civil Aircraft for the World's Less-Developed Areas

T. F. Cartaino

ResearchPublished 1962

An examination of the 1962 status of, and future possibilities for, aircraft technology in the less-developed areas of the world. The Memorandum describes the aviation environment encountered in such areas, delineates the special aircraft-design considerations relevant to them, and discusses engineering solutions devised to meet the special requirements of these areas. A representative sample of existing aircraft appropriate to operations in less-developed areas is presented, and the major state-of-the-art possibilities that are possible for this class of aircraft by 1975 are forecast.
