Characteristics and requirements of ideal tactical support aircraft are summarized; aircraft will preferably operate from bases 50 to 100 nautical mi behind battlefront; this provides optimum compromise between protection of logistic supply routes and airfields from enemy action, availability of airfields of sufficient size to avoid restrictions on payload/range, and quick reaction time to front line requests for action; graphical illustration of range function in spectrum for role of aircraft is presented.
