That all changed on 9/11, and demand for air transportation has not yet returned to peak levels. Most U.S. airlines continue to struggle for survival, and some have filed for bankruptcy. The situation makes it difficult to argue that strong action is urgently needed to avert a crisis of undercapacity in the air transportation system. This report assesses the visions and goals for U.S. civil aviation and technology goals for the year 2050. 517 3 $aSecuring the future of United States air transportation 606 $aAeronautics, Commercial$zUnited States$xFinance 606 $aAeronautics, Commercial$zUnited States$xForecasting 606 $aAirlines$zUnited States$xFinance 606 $aAirlines$zUnited States$xCost of operation 615 0$aAeronautics, Commercial$xFinance. 615 0$aAeronautics, Commercial$xForecasting. 615 0$aAirlines$xFinance. 615 0$aAirlines$xCost of operation. 676 $a387.7/0973 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Aeronautics Research and Technology for Vision 2050. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bAeronautics and Space Engineering Board. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bTransportation Research Board.$bStudies and Information Services. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957497503321 996 $aSecuring the future of U.S. air transportation$94357436 997 $aUNINA
