This paper contains the viewpoints of an aircraft manufacturer on future airport and airspace operations. A broad view is given concerning cockpit technology, aircraft operational capabilities, human factors, and the role of aircraft and pilots. It is concluded that technical methods are available or can be developed to resolve many foreseeable problems. However, the real limitations are those associated with all large-scale systems. What is wanted and needed is not understood and consequently real requirements are not understood. Current experience, traditional procedures, and current problems are extrapolated blindly and lead to unnecessary limitations. Highly integrated solutions are devised in which all parts are critical to the proper function of the whole system, and that require revolutionary changes when only step-by-step evolution is possible. The rigidity of institutions and organizations can not be overcome, and there is a lack of communication. In the words of the author, "I think the problem is not with the things, but with ourselves. We can regain control if we get our act together."
