Tripling of Capacity for Air Traffic Is Sought. The secretary of transportation called for tripling the air traffic capacity of the U.S. in the next 15 to 20 years. By Matthew L. Wald. [New York Times: Business]
Norm Mineta called Tuesday for tripling the air traffic capacity of the United States in the next 15 to 20 years. I don't think there are going to be that many more passengers, but there is a definite need to make room for more jet taxis, private jets, airliner traffic and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. Rapid advances in computer technology are showing up faster in avionics as is the development of light jet engines and composite airframes. Its going to be a slightly more crowded sky.
