February 17, 1977. 12 pp. Testimony before the Hcuse Comwittee on Science and Technology: Transportation, Aviation and Weather Subcommittee; by Richard V. Gutmann, Director, Procurement and Systems Acquisition Div. Issue Area: Transportation Systems and Policies: Novement of Peopla in Urban Areas (2403). Contact: Procurement and Systems Acquisition Div. Budget Function: Commerce and Transportation: Air Transportation (405). Congressional Relevance: House Commitee on Science and Technology: Transportation, Aviation ^nd Weather subcommittee. A 1976 report on Fqderal Short Takeokf an4 Landing (STOL) Transport Programs wa- summarized. The major i.trast of the report was to recommend rea3sessment of the needs and priorities for short haul transportation systems. It coted that the Department of Tran.portation sees improved rail systems and better use of existing &ir transportation facilities as the preferred solutions to congest.on in high dens.Lty corridors. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, however, is proceeding with research on STOL transports to. solve airport conqestion despite the fact that little or nothing is being done to resolve questions concerning the need and timeliness for a new shorthaul system. air Force contractors involved in the development of STOL cargo aircraft see no commercial or cargo market for this type of aircraft. There is no real agreement on the specific requiresents foi a commercially viable STOL systea. Long term actions are being taken to improve existing air traffic capacity and to develcp competing rail service. If successfu.ll completed, they will alleviate the need for a STOL short haul passer.ger system. Development of jet STOL transport technology appears to be ahead of other system components such as terminal facilities, airports, routes, and air traffic control., (RRS)
