COMMERCIAL SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT AND THE DOMESTIC AIR TRAVEL MARKET.
Abstract
The report presents new data on domestic air travel that are being assembled and analyzed for the purpose of forecasting the potential market for supersonic transport aircraft. There are four sections to the report. The first discusses total domestic air passenger travel and the potential market it offers for supersonic transport aircraft. The second section considers the potential domestic market under alternative assumptions of aircraft speeds, capacity and economically feasible stage distances. The third section examines the specific city pairs between which most domestic long trip air travel now occurs, as the route segments most important to supersonic aircraft flights. The fourth section presents a listing of the individual cities at which most domestic long trip air travel now originates or terminates and which, therefore, appear most likely to have supersonic transport service first.
