Abstract:
Conditions in the technical development of the aeroplane at the present
time, especially the absence of any important improvements in design or in
motive power and the uncertainty about the prospects for supersonic
transport, as well as general economic considerations, tend to lengthen
its useful life period. Development costs also are now weighing more
heavily on manufacturers of commercial aircraft and in turn on airline
operators. The airlines consequently have begun to realise that the rate of
replacement heretofore accepted has been imposing too great a strain on
their resources. There are several considerations that could shorten or
extend the life of an aeroplane as a transport vehicle in the front rank.
They relate particularly to its competitive qualities, its reliability, size,
speed and operating unit costs.
