AIR TRANSPORTATION: A SYSTEMS APPROACH

The complexity of air transportation dictates the need for a wide variety of technical and non-technical personnel. Such an intricate interplay of disciplines requires a substantial amount of cooperation and coordination in order to make air transportation work effectively for the users as well as for the operators. Those involved in the planning, design, and improvement of air transportation facilities must approach their tasks with a full understanding of the total system. This paper expresses the author's concept of the air transportation system and discusses his philosophy of system engineering as it applies to the problems encountered.
