ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF A UNITED STATES SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT UPON AIRPORTS AND ENROUTE SUPPORT SERVICES: VOLUME II. AIRPORTS AND TERMINALS

Abstract

The economic impact of advanced high-capacity airliners upon the ground-environment--airports and terminals--is examined in this volume. The modifications required to achieve compatibility with each of the four airliners: stretched subsonic (DC-8-63), high-capacity subsonic (B-747), Concorde, United States SST which will enter commercial service up to 1975 are defined for selected airports, and the costs of the aircraft-sponsored improvements are estimated.
