The 12th International Workshop on Future Aviation Activities was conducted by the Transportation Research Board on September 1820, 2002, at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. This workshop, the most recent in a biennial series that was initiated in 1979, was carried out with support from the Federal Aviation Administration to provide input to public- and private-sector managers and decision makers on forecasting long-term trends and developments in commercial, business, and personal air transport. Focus was on the post-September 11 environment. Topics discussed include the domestic and international macroeconomic outlook; the structure and operating patterns of major and regional American air carriers; expected developments in international aviation, air cargo issues, aircraft, and engine manufacture; trends in business aviation, including fractional ownership; civil helicopter transport services; and the improving future for personally owned and operated light aircraft. |
