Extract

One big problem found during the course of preparing this lecture, was the vastness of the subject. So there will probably be many things that should be said that will be left unsaid, but it is hoped that all the main factors have been considered at some point, even if they only get a passing mention. One point should be made, the freight and cargo market are not considered, as the majority of freight is carried in converted passenger aircraft or in the holds of passenger aircraft particularly in the large wide-body types. This trend seems likely to continue and it is unlikely that specialised freight aircraft will be developed for short haul operations.
