Aviation advisory panel urges multibillion aid program
A presidential commission warns the U.S. aviation system is fragile and proposes up to 103 billion dollars in federal support over 12 years. It calls for an undersecretary of transportation for civil aviation, a national airport land bank, stricter noise limits, faster retrofit of engines, and allowing supersonic transports to land once noise and environmental standards are met. The report favors private sector development of large transports but would provide direct aid if private investment is insufficient.
