    Technical Supplements S1 The IG JAS Investment In this Technical Supplement the JAS 39 Gripen product concept is outlined, the procurement process documented, the Industry Group IG JAS presented and the critical role of the competent public procurement agency, the FMV, highlighted. S1.1 The Procurement of the JAS 39 Gripen Aircraft with Swing-Role Capabilities The JAS 39 Gripen multirole combat aircraft (J stands for fighter, A for Attack and S for Surveillance/reconnaissance) is a fourth generation aircraft that entered operational service in 1997. It replaced the Viggen, the last of which was taken out of service in 2006. JAS 39 Gripen is a combat aircraft with swing-role capabilities that can change mission in flight. This swing-role capability was unique when Gripen was launched but has later been introduced on the French Rafale and the Eurofighter. Other competing multirole aircraft first have to land to reconfigure its information, guidance, and weapons systems for a new role. Gripen was the first “unstable” aircraft in the world which meant that in order for the aircraft to be stable at all speeds and in all maneuvers many more navigation surfaces are needed than the pilot can possibly control himself to minimize air friction at each moment. He needs incredibly sophisticated computer systems support to maneuver the aircraft effectively and safely. Competing fourth generation combat aircraft are F-35/JSF (the USA, not yet (2009) delivered to market), the Eurofighter Typhoon (the UK, etc.) and Rafale (Dassault, France). JAS 39 Gripen also competes with upgraded versions of the third generation aircraft of Lockheed Martin F-16 (the USA, first delivered in 1978), Boeing F/A18 Hornet (the USA, first delivered in 1983), Dassault Mirage 2000 (France, first delivered in 1983), and Mig-29 (the former Soviet Union, first delivered in 1977).

  • Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN
    Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts BOWERS FIELD AIRPORT AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Chapter 3 – Aviation Activity Forecasts The overall goal of aviation activity forecasting is to prepare forecasts that accurately reflect current conditions, relevant historic trends, and provide reasonable projections of future activity, which can be translated into specific airport facility needs anticipated during the next twenty years and beyond. Introduction This chapter provides updated forecasts of aviation activity for Kittitas County Airport – Bowers Field (ELN) for the twenty-year master plan horizon (2015-2035). The most recent FAA-approved aviation activity forecasts for Bowers Field were prepared in 2011 for the Airfield Needs Assessment project. Those forecasts evaluated changes in local conditions and activity that occurred since the previous master plan forecasts were prepared in 2000, and re-established base line conditions. The Needs Assessment forecasts provide the “accepted” airport-specific projections that are most relevant for comparison with the new master plan forecasts prepared for this chapter. The forecasts presented in this chapter are consistent with Bowers Field’s current and historic role as a community/regional general aviation airport. Bowers Field is the only airport in Kittitas County capable of accommodating a full range of general aviation activity, including business class turboprops and business jets. This level of capability expands the airport’s role to serve the entire county and the local Ellensburg community. The intent is to provide an updated set of aviation demand projections for Bowers Field that will permit airport management to make the decisions necessary to maintain a viable, efficient, and cost-effective facility that meets the area’s air transportation needs.

    Dear Mr, Thompson: Reference is made to your letter of February 10, 1970, requesting that we update information which we furnished to you in a report dated March 4, 1968, relative to aircraft owned or leased by the Federal Avia- 1 tion Administration (FAA). In accordance with this request, we are fur- nishing you the following information. 1. Inventory of active aircraft owned as of June 30, 1967, 1968, 1969, and January 1, 1970 (enclosure I). 2. Installed passenger capacity and cost of aircraft owned as of June 30, 1967, and January 1, 1970 (enclosure II). 3. Aircraft leased or on loan during the period July 1, 1967, through June 30, 1969 (enclosure III). 4. Aircraft mazntenance, maJor overhaul, and modification costs by aircraft type, for fiscal years 1968 and 1969 (enclosure IV). 5. Average cost per flxght hour by aircraft type, fiscal years 1968 and 1969 (enclosure V>. 6. Aircraft utilization by aircraft type and maJor cate- gories, fiscal years 1968 and 1969 (enclosure VI). 7. Utilization and cost of open market rental aircraft, fiscal years 1968 and 1969 (enclosure VII). In addition, you requested that we advise you of the progress that has been made in establishing a uniform maintenance and operating cost re- porting system for all FAA owned and leased aircraft. As shown zn our March 4, 1968, report, FhCl had 101 aircraft which cost approximately $46 mzlllon 1n its inventory of active aircraft as of June 30, 1967. On January 1, 1970, the number of active air craft had decreased Co 98; however, the cost of the aircraft in the inventory was approximately $52 million, This increase was the net result of.
