The paper describes a cost-effectiveness study of the use of vertical or short takeoff and landing (VSTOL) aircraft for combat missions. A comparison is made with conventional (CTOL) aircraft as tactical fighters in a future NATO environment. A model yielding the probability of completing n successive missions is used as a measure of combat effectiveness. A cost model was constructed to reflect the resource impact of the same variables or alternatives that affect the measure of effectiveness. (Author)
