2. Review of Market • Air charters, governments (surveying, mail), medical transport, or supplies delivery companies • Operates in rural, developing area’s of the world such as Australia, South America, or even rural parts of Canada AAE 451 Senior Design Team 1

3. Design Requirements • Passengers: 12 (including crew) • Cruise Speed: 160 kts • Takeoff distance: 2000 ft • Range: 1200 nm • One-way full load • Weight: approx. 12,000 lbs • Cost: < $2.5 million • Alternate Fuel Source: Fischer-Tropes Kerosene and Bio - Kerosene AAE 451 Senior Design Team 1

4. Trade Studies • Largest Tradeoffs are Payload (passengers) or Range • Payload and/or Range affect GTOW the most Solid Lines are for Round trip range; Dotted Lines for One Way Range. AAE 451 Senior Design Team 1

5. Trade Studies • For the desired payload and range, there are only certain speeds the plane can travel Solid Lines are for Round trip range; Dotted Lines for One Way Range. AAE 451 Senior Design Team 1
