MULTI-CRITERIA ANALYSIS OF MODERN MILITARY TRANSPORT AIRPLANES
MULTI-CRITERIA ANALYSIS OF MODERN MILITARY TRANSPORT AIRPLANES

Summary/Abstract: An airplane is a fixed-wing aircraft which is propelled forward in presence of thrust which is developed by a jet engine, rocket engine or a propeller. The main categories of airplanes are military, transportation of people and goods, research or recreation. A multi-criteria analysis is comprehensive in order to discover the best military transport aircraft from the ones I proposed to study, all the quatitative and qualitative criterions being chosen objectively, the main criterions being relevant and important for the aircraft. The purpose for a multi-criteria analysis is to discover the best quality-price relation for any of the aircraft, making it a trusted method in any acquisition process. To this end, an overview of the features characteristic of four such airplanes is provided. Based on that, a number of assessment criteria and their weighing are established in order to create an assessment matrix and a hierarchy of the four transport airplanes.
