Nationwide Impacts of Very Light Jet Traffic in the Future Next Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS)

Abstract

This paper describes a methodology to predict on-demand air taxi services using emerging Very Light Jets (VLJ) technology in the future National Air Transportation System (NAS). The paper describes airspace and airport impacts of VLJ traffic considering an improved Next Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS). The analysis presented fits within the framework of the Transportation Systems Analysis Model (TSAM) developed by the Air
