  1. James Bearman AJ Brinker Dean Bryson Brian Gershkoff Kuo Guo Joseph Henrich Aaron Smith Daedalus Aviation

  2. Agenda • Overview • Business Case • Customer Needs • State of the Market: 2058 • Competition • Potential Missions • Requirement Development • Benchmarking Data • Conclusion

  3. Overview • DC-3, Historical Perspective • Range • Capacity • Reliability • Success of the DC-3 • Business Model • Captured a large Market Share • Technology expanded borders of flight

  4. Daedalus One • Provide a versatile aircraft with medium range and capacity to meet the needs of a commercial aircraft market still expanding in the year 2058 • Incorporate the latest in technology to provide reliability, efficiency, while fulfilling the need for an environmentally friendly transportation system • Possess the ability to operate at nearly any airfield

  5. Business Case: Customer Needs • Airlines • Short Runway Capability • Hub and Spoke System • Evolution of Flight Routes • Moderate Passenger Capacity • Lower Cost than Jumbo Jets • Promotes Full Flights • Appropriate Range • Versatility in Flight Routes • Cross-Continental not Required

  6. Business Case: Customer Needs • Charters • Small Airport Capability • Demand to avoid hubs • Increase speed of travel • Generous amount of Passengers and Cargo • Enough space to carry an entire travel party in one plane • Extra Space = Extra Cost

  7. Fulfilling Customer Needs • Passenger Capacity • Large enough for medium-medium high demand travel routes • Small enough for chartered flights • Range • Long enough to fulfill most passenger needs • Shorter range reduces overall aircraft cost • Short Runway Capability allows flexibility in flight routings for all customers

  8. State of the Market: (2058) Chart From Embraer

  9. Immediate (2008) demand for medium capacity aircraft 28,600 aircraft delivered in the next 20 years (Boeing) 56,000 aircraft delivered in the next 50 years Majority of aircraft will be regional jet or single aisle Our Aircraft Fills gap between Regional and Single-Aisle ESTOL capability Generous Range Expect to capture ~15% of market (8,500 aircraft) State of the Market: 2058

  10. Competition • Science Fiction • Digital Communication • Other Transportation • Other Aircraft

  11. What Won’t Happen in 2058 • The Obvious • Transporters • Warp Drive • Jet Packs • Improbabilities • Flying Cars • Space Planes • Mag-Lev Cars

  12. Competition, Digital:Teleconference/Telepresence • What it can do • Communicate information over great distances • Give the illusion of people worldwide being in the same room • Be scheduled easily and activated quickly • Useful for meetings • What it can’t do • Provide perfect interaction • Compensate for time zones • Will not replace business travel, even on a global scale

  13. Competition, Land-Based:Personal and Communal Transport • Automobiles • Alternative Energy Sources • Artificial Intelligence Vehicle Control • Faster Driving Speeds • Cannot achieve Aircraft Speeds, Safety, or Range • Rail • Higher Speeds • Low Environmental Impact • Excellent over Short Ranges • Cannot cross larger bodies of water • Speeds still too low over longer ranges • Infrastructure expansion slow and costly

  14. Competition, Aerial:Current and Next Generation • Bombardier • C-Series • CRJ Family • Embraer • Competition to C-Series • ERJ Family • E-Jet Family • Boeing • 737 Family • New Aircraft Family • Airbus • A320 Family • New Aircraft Family • Cessna, Learjet, Gulfstream

  15. Potential Mission 1 Step Cruise For Best Range Cruise Climb- Miss Approach Descend & Hold Takeoff & Climb Descend & Hold Taxi Land & Taxi Land & Taxi • Schaumburg to North Las Vegas (1300 nmi) • Scheduled Commercial Route • Large City (Chicago) to Large City (Las Vegas) • Utilize Small/Regional Airport • South Bend to Burbank (1580 nmi) • Chartered Route (Notre Dame vs USC) • Maximize Convenience

  16. Potential Mission 2 Step Cruise For Best Range Cruise Cruise Climb- Miss Approach TO & Climb TO & Climb Descend & Hold Descend & Hold Taxi Descend Land & Taxi Land & Taxi Land & Taxi • Purdue University to University of Illinois to Cancun  • Total Distance: 1200 nmi • Spring Break Charter • Small Cities to Major Tourist Destination

  17. Potential Mission 3 Step Cruise For Best Range Cruise Descend & Hold Climb- Miss Approach Takeoff & Climb Spiral Descent Taxi Land & Taxi Land & Taxi • Minneapolis to Los Angeles • Range: 1330 nmi • Hub to Hub • Connecting Flight in LAX • Landing on half of the runway

  18. Requirement Development: Tools • House of Quality • “What’s”-Needs of the Customer • “How’s”-Requirements to meet the needs • Benchmarking • Historical Database Created • Used to develop performance estimates

  19. Requirement Development • Customer Needs • Short Runway • Medium Range • Fast Cruise • Small Airport Capable • Comfortable to Passengers • Medium Passenger Capacity

  20. Engineering Requirements

  21. Benchmarking Data • Current aircraft used in benchmarking: (circa 2008) • Boeing 737-family • Airbus A320-family • Embraer • ERJ-family • E-Series • Canadair • CRJ-family • C-series • All data obtained from manufacturers’ websites and Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft
