A DEMONSTRATION PROJECT IN URBAN AIR TRANSPORTATION

A Demonstration Project in Urban Transportation is proposed which will prove the technical feasibility, determine operational procedures, test interfaces with (and effects on) other transportation modes, and prove economic viability, public service, public safety and public acceptance of integrated STOL/VTOL aircraft operation in future urban transportation systems everywhere. The detailed experiments, measurements and results will be documented and analyzed so that this Demonstration Project will supply a sound basis for action on many of the various critical transportation problems confronting urban areas throughout the country.
