Three novel commuter aircraft concepts are assessed as part of a more comprehensive transport system taking into account aspects such as intermodal door-to-door travel, environmental impact, and noise emissions. The impact of possible future scenarios, e.g. a tax on emissions, on the overall performance of the proposed concepts is investigated from a transport system perspective.
