Common concerns of very large vehicles (VLV) in the areas of economics, transportation system interfaces, and operational problems are reviewed with respect to the influence of these factors on aircraft configurations and technolgoy. Fifty-four technology requirements for VLVs have been identified and rated with regard to technology readiness. The requirements were about equally divided among the four general areas of aero/hydrodynamics, propulsion and acoustics, structures, and vehicle systems and operations. None of the requirements were considered to have an excellent technology readiness.
