2 Outline Mission Statement Market/Customers Competitors Mission Scenarios System Design Requirements Summary Next Steps
3 Mission Statement To create an innovative and cost effective commercial aircraft capable of take-off and landing in extremely short distances, making it available to a larger number of runways, in order to open up more airports, primarily to relieve the continuous growing congestion of large hubs.
4 “Next-Generation DC-3” An aircraft that is going to see very large scale production to fill a popular and profitable niche in the market One that is going to revolutionize air travel
5 Economic growth yielding traffic growth. Domestic fleet average seat size growth is dramatic. Market Outlook
6 17,650 new single aisle airplanes will be delivered over the next will be delivered over the next 20 years. 20 years. This will make up 48% of the total airplanes in service in airplanes in service in By the year of 2058, 61,604 single aisle airplane will be in service. aisle airplane will be in service. Market Outlook

8 Customer Benefits “Flight delays cost the U.S. economy $15 billion a year” Mary E. Peters, United States Transportation Secretary, January 22 nd, 2008 Mary E. Peters, United States Transportation Secretary, January 22 nd, 2008 Maximize profits – Maximize Total Revenue Reduce flight delays through direct flights to secondary airports More flight services and availabilities increase the revenue for airlines. –Reduce Costs Operation cost –Less idle time saves aircraft fuel burn. aircraft fuel burn.
9 Competitors Types of Transportation –Automobiles –Airplanes –Trains –Personal aircraft/ Skycars Airplane Manufactures –Range nmi – passenger capacity –Single isle
10 Airplane Manufacturers Aircraft within our size and range requirements –single aisle planes Competition includes –N generation Boeing 737NG family and its replacement, the 737RS (Y1) – the Airbus A320 series and its replacement (NSR) –Embraer’s E-Jets (spec. E-190 and E-195) –the N+1 generation C110 and C130 CSeries jets from Bombardier (Canadair)
11 Airplane Manufacturers ARrival looked at aircraft within our size and range requirements (e.g. single aisle planes) Competition includes the N generation Boeing 737NG family, the Airbus A320 series, Embraer’s E-Jets (spec. E-190 and E-195), and the N+1 generation C110 and C130 CSeries jets from Bombardier (Canadair)
12 Other Competitors Personal Air Vehicles –The Skycar –Family Commuters
13 Too Expensive –Portugal estimates that the high speed rail line "connecting Lisbon with Madrid and with Porto, due to be operational by 2013, is estimated to cost around 7.2 billion Euros”, according to Forbes. Compare the costs to the new international airport near Lisbon, estimated at 3 billion Euros, and you can see why people are questioning the need. – Why High-Speed Trains are Not a Competitor
14 Mission Scenarios Relieve over congested airport hubs –Land at secondary airports Near and around major hubs Cutting travel time for passengers –Half-runway landings and takeoffs Double number of takeoffs and landings on one runway

26 New Technologies Advanced materials such as CFRP which give a projected weight reduction of about 15% over N generation competitors from Airbus and Boeing and 13% over Embraer’s E-Jets* Advances in propulsion such as the geared turbofan (GTF) and the Unducted Fan (UDF) for fuel efficiency and noise reduction High lift through blown flaps, potential use of thrust vectoring Benchmarking with the EasyJet “EcoJet” concept for “Green” technologies *Based off of Boeing 787 weight savings vs. its competitors
27 New Technologies - CFRP Assuming the 787’s CFRP construction becomes the industry standard, ARrival applied the weight saving factor of the 787’s design over its peers to current generation Boeing and Airbus single aisle jets.
28 Benchmarking Based off of ARrival’s projected requirements and the data from our main competitors, ARrival found the competitors that closely matched our aircraft’s preliminary specifications Weight savings data from Boeing 787 family over the 767 family, 777 family, and Airbus A330 family used to project weight savings of a CFRP single-aisle plane vs. the 737NG, A320 family, and the larger Embraer E-Jets Bombardier CSeries aircraft match our projected range requirements however, data for this type is sketchy as it is an N+1 generation aircraft still in planning
