His plans Vertical Takeoff Planes May Ease Airport Problems Congressional Quarterly Service travel commuters who are accustomed to spending more time traveling to and from airports than in actual flying time may get some relief by the 1980s. By then, vertical and short takeoff and landing aircraft (V-STOL) may be making direct flights between downtown areas in major cities, said Clifton F. von Kann, vice president of the Air Transport Association of America, in recent testimony before House Science and Astronautics Subcommittee, Von Kann listed these major air transport problems which V-STOL could solve; Inadequate capacity at major airports. Increasing difficulty in acquiring new airport sites.

Inadequate access to airports via surface transportation. Another witness, Mark E. Kirchner, manager of the Boeing Company's vertical takeoff division, told the subcommittee that V-STOL could be a response to the "ever-increasing difficulties that are being encountered in traveling, especially for relatively short distances." "An airline system that could compete effectively with the automobile and train would find a very lucrative market," he said. Both witnesses said U.S. developments in the V-STOL field were lagging behind those in Germany and England where V-STOL aircraft are already on the market.

They urged the federal government and specifically the National Aeronautics and Space Agency to take a "leading role" in V-STOL research. "We need V-STOL but at the rate we are going it will be another 10 to 15years, which will be far too late," said von Kann.
