Analysis of VSTOL aircraft configurations for short haul air transportation systems
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1966], 1966)Introduction: The potential of air transportation as a means of filling the growing need for a mass short haul transportation system was investigated in Ref. 1 where all aspects of short haul air transportation systems ... -
Application of the calculus of variations in determining optimum flight profiles for commercial short haul aircraft
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1966, 1966)The method of steepest descent of the calculus of variations is used to determine the optimal flight profile of a hypothetical tilt wing aircraft travelling a distance of 50 miles. Direct operating cost, (as derived from ... -
Computerized schedule construction for an airbus transportation system
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1966], 1966)As part of a continuing study of the application of V/STOL aircraft to the transportation problems of the Northeast Corridor, the U.S. Department of Commerce has requested that detailed data be developed on schedules, ... -
The cost of noise reduction for departure and arrival operations of commercial tilt rotor aircraft
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1976], 1976)The relationship between direct operating cost (DOC) and noise annoyance due to a departure and an arrival operation was developed for commercial tilt rotor aircraft. This was accomplished by generating a series of tilt ... -
The cost of noise reduction in commercial tilt rotor aircraft
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1974], 1974)The relationship between direct operating cost and departure noise annoyance was developed for commercial tilt rotor aircraft. This was accomplished by generating a series of tilt rotor aircraft designs to meet various ... -

Ground facilities for a VTOL intercity air transportation system
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1970], 1970)Introduction: This study covers the design of ground facilities, or metroports, for a future form of short haul intercity air transportation, the VTOL Airbus system as described by previous M.I.T. Flight Transportation ... -
A method for determination of optimum vehicle size and frequency of service for a short haul V/STOL air transport system
(Cambridge, Mass. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1968], 1968)To compete successfully in short haul markets under 200 miles, an air transport system must offer a high daily frequency of service, N, as well as short air travel times. In a given market, N can be increased by using ... -
Weather conditions affecting VTOL airbus operations in the Northeast Corridor
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1966], 1966)A detailed study of hourly weather observations in the Northeast Corridor during the periods 0600-2400 for a ten year period 1944-1958 was made to study the implications of weather affecting the operations of a VSTOL Airbus ...
