摘要：	The introduction of regional cargo unmanned aircraft systems into the National Airspace System is anticipatedwithin the coming years. Because they are remotely piloted, these aircraft are expected to utilize increasingaircraft automation and autonomy, require special infrastructure accommodations for navigation,communication, command and control and potentially need special treatment from air traffic control. In orderto assess the accessibility and impacts of these operations across the national airspace, this preliminary studyinvestigates current and estimated future demand for air cargo operations in the continental United States. Aircargo demand is broken down by aircraft type and airport categories to produce a rough nation-wideclassification of cargo operations. Then, the state of Texas is investigated as a focus region, where the impactsof regional cargo unmanned aircraft systems on the airspace are investigated in further detail. The potentialtechnologies that can assist in regional cargo unmanned aircraft system accessibility are defined at airportsacross the focus region. A single airport, Fort Worth Alliance, is highlighted to discuss airport-level statistics.Finally, a qualitative classification of airports by the type of cargo operations is suggested.
