The focus of the is paper is the quiestion weather a People Mover aircraft can make its contribution towards the climate targets by replacing highly efficient narrow body aircraft where preliminary results indicate a significant disadvantage in terms of CO2 emissions per passenger seat. Therefore, the concept will be assessd on its economic performance and on its climate impact contribution.
