The role of conventional STOL aircraft in future passenger transportation in Europe is discussed. One of the main problems is noise reduction, and it is pointed out that the CSTOL is an improvement with its steep takeoff and landing characteristics. The CSTOL is also a means of increasing the traffic capacity of existing airports, so that saturation level will not be reached until 1990. The planned air traffic control organization at European level (Eurocontrol), will allow better use of air highway capacity. Advantages of CSTOL in comparison to high speed rail transportation are indicated. The technology of CSTOL is demonstrated using the VFW 614 characteristics, which are similar. (Author)
