Abstract:

This panel looked at the future of helicopters for light commercial and general aviation. After a review of existing economic conditions, the panel members articulated present day problems which prevent growth and prosperity in the helicopter industry. These problems include public acceptance, lack of public heliports, liability insurance, lack of standardized FAA enforcement, and industry fragmentation. Discussions on the future of civil helicopters concentrated on a 10-year time span and involved the broad areas of market conditions, government/industry structure, liability insurance, technology, and infrastructure.
