As technology capabilities continue to evolve, aircraft need to keep up with this modernization. Aircraft also need to adapt to new regulations and airspace infrastructure updates. In addition, old technology is slowly being replaced and, in some cases, is no longer supported.

Examples of Avionics Upgrade Requirements:

` New Airspace Requirement Compliance: FANS 1/A, CPDLC, ATN-B1/CPDLC, WAAS/LPV, TCAS II 7.1, ADS-B Out,…etc

` Enhanced Situational Awareness: Synthetic Vision System (SVS), Enhanced Vision System (EVS), Graphical Charts

` Obsolescence: CRT Display to LCD Display, Navigation system IRU, Avionics processing capabilities, FMS,…etc

Textron

Winglets are advanced aerodynamics wing extensions, designed to significantly reduce wingtip vortex, resulting in less drag, lower fuel burn and superior climb and cruise characteristics.

Aviation Partners blended winglets are a good example of innovation in business aviation that benefits to whole aviation industry. Introduced first, for the Gulfstream II in 1992, this patented technology was ultimately installed on over 70 percent of the GII fleet and is now flying on over 8,000 business and commercial aircraft.

Winglet Technology and Cessna Aircraft Company collaborated to develop the world’s fastest winglet for the world’s fastest civilian aircraft with a top speed of 0.92 Mach. Winglet Technology worked closely with Cessna Aircraft Company to develop a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) permitting the installation of the Elliptical winglets on the Cessna Citation X business jet. Elliptical winglets become standard equipment on the Citation X+.

The active winglets from Tamarack combines three major elements to achieve new levels of aircraft performance, efficiency, and sustainability. A lightweight wing extension, a composite winglet and the autonomous ATLAS® load alleviation system.

QUICK GUIDE

TURBINE POWERED HELICOPTER CATEGORIES

LIGHT

MTOW < 7,000 lbs

With their large mission versatility and efficiency, Light helicopters are the most popular helicopters in the civil market. The Light category is divided into two sub-categories: single and twin-engine.

The primary differences between single and twin-engine helicopters lie in their power and speed capabilities. Twin-engine helicopters provide greater overall power and speed when compared to their single-engine counterparts. The engine redundancy is especially valuable when flying over water, densely populated areas, or inhospitable terrains.

INTERMEDIATE

7,000 lbs < MTOW < 10,000 lbs

The Intermediate category combines light helicopter versatility with increased cabin size and range capabilities making them perfect for a large number of missions ranging from Emergency Medical Services to Search & Rescue and offshore operations.

MEDIUM & SUPER-MEDIUM

Developed primarily to support the offshore oil and gas industry, the Medium and Super-Medium category helicopters have proven very popular in corporate transportation applications as their large and unobstructed cabins can embody the hallmarks of elegance, style, and sophistication. These helicopters can often be equipped with state-of-the-art telecommunications and entertainment systems, dedicated workspaces, and refreshment and stowage areas.

Designed primarily for the long-range offshore oil and gas market, Heavy helicopters are very popular in the VVIP market for government officials and head-of-state transportation.

BIZLINERS QUICK GUIDE

THE MODIFIED AIRLINERS (BIZLINERS) ECOSYSTEM

Bizliners are commercial airliners modified for a lower passenger count usage in business aviation missions. They are mainly used for government transportation including head-of-state (~45% of the market), private including corporate operations (~40%), and charter operations (~15%).

Since most regional and narrow-body ranges are fuel limited at lower payload, OEMs or completion centers will certify Auxiliary Fuel Tanks (ACT) installation on these jets to increase their range capability.

Boeing in collaboration with General Electric launched Boeing Business Jets in 1996 followed by Airbus who entered the market in 1997 with the launch of Airbus Corporate Jets business unit.

Bizliners have a large number of benefits in comparison with purpose-built business jets, notably their large cabin and baggage capability but also some drawbacks in terms of performance, mission capabilities, and versatility.

COMPLETION CENTERS

In contrast to purpose-built business jets that are delivered ready for operations straight from aircraft OEMs. Bizliners are delivered unpainted, with only a green primer application, hence known as ‘green’. (generally) not painted with only a green primer application. The interior is literally empty and requires design and outfitting at a completion center.

Completion centers often offer customized interior design, engineering, and certification of the interior outfitting and additional modifications such as airstairs, connectivity, in-flight entertainment systems, and even airborne protection systems for government and VVIP aircraft.

Completion centers will also perform the interior installation and final certification. Completion centers also specialise in bizliners in-service maintenance and follow-on cabin retrofits.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Bizliners offer the ultimate customization opportunity for having a jet crafted absolutely down to the last detail in accordance with customers’ needs.

Interior designers will design the optimum cabin through a thorough understanding of client needs, cultural requirements, and expectations. Although most completion centers offer their internal design team, independent interior designers are often hired by customers or completion centers.

These independent interior designers will not only bring their experience in aviation but also from other luxury markets such as yachts, luxury residences, and high-end hotel designs.

COMPLETION MANAGEMENT

Although the completion process may seem complex, customers can rely on completion managers who will work closely with the interior designer and completion center, to transition design intent into a cabin that is comfortable, functional, and reliable, and then oversee the entire outfitting process to ensure that client expectations, budget and quality standards are met.

THE PATH TO NET-ZERO BUSINESS AVIATION SOLUTIONS GUIDE

CARBON FOOTPRINT ASSESSMENT

A sustainability program requires first a solid assessment of the operation’s carbon footprint. It is better to report total gallons of fuel used rather than simply report aircraft hours flown to maximize integrity.

CARBON OFFSETTING PROGRAMS

Offsets are generated through carbon credits from projects that reduce or avoid carbon emissions, such as reforestation projects and renewable energy initiatives.

Project examples include helping make the transition from fossil-based power generation to renewable sources and projects like the protection of existing forests or starting new ones.

SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL (SAF)

Sustainable Aviation Fuel, SAF - is any next-generation aviation fuel made from 100% approved sustainable sources such as used cooking oil, organic waste, residue raw materials, forestry or agriculture waste...etc

Through its production life cycle, SAF highly reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to fossil fuel and can be used as a direct replacement (drop-in) for fossil jet fuel as it is chemically similar. SAF has the potential to reduce net CO2 lifecycle emissions by more than 80% compared to the conventional jet fuel production life cycle. The current issues with SAF is its higher pricing, the limited availability and logistical challenges. That can be solved through Book-and-Claim solutions as they effectively transfer sustainability claims to final customers.

AIRCRAFT EFFICIENCY

Newer generation, more efficient aircraft can make a large contribution to reducing carbon and non-carbon emissions together with the reduction in the noise footprint. Over time the improvement rate in business jet engines Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) average roughly 1% per year.

In addition to aircraft manufacturers continuous aircraft improvement program, third party solutions exist to improve aircraft performance and operational efficiency such as in-service retrofit winglets.

ELECTRIFICATION & HYDROGEN

Sustainable aviation fuels play a major role in the decarbonization of aviation, especially when it comes to long-range missions. Air transport electrification (eg eVTOLs, eCommuter) currently support short range flights.

Electrical power and propulsion systems will lead the way for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), enabling silent short and vertical take-off and landing capabilities while lowering emissions and reducing fuel consumption. Hybrid and hydrogen propulsion systems are looking promising for future medium range missions.
