Whitby R. H. (1971) Technical progress in aviation, Reg. Studies 5, 117–120. Possible variation in estimated future air travel is discussed. Allowing for a progressive increase in aircraft size it is suggested that air movements in Great Britain may never grow to more than 80 per cent above present day levels. Bigger aircraft will not demand bigger airfields. Newly introduced aircraft are quieter despite greater size and this trend will continue with succeeding generations. Allowing for increased movement rate, the overall noise nuisance is now near its peak and should decline after 1975. Improved surface travel will lead to the development of aircraft more accessible to the public. Although VTOL is attractive, STOL aircraft could offer almost as much improved accessibility as VTOL and be less complex.
