Introduction to Faradair® Linking cities via Hybrid flight ® faradair Neil Cloughley Founder & Managing Director Faradair Aerospace Limited • In the next 15 years it is forecast that 60% of the Worlds population will ® live in cities • Land based transportation networks are already at capacity with rising prices • The next transportation revolution faradair will operate in the skies – it has to! However THREE problems MUST be solved to enable this market; • Noise • Cost of Operations • Emissions But don’t we have aircraft already?

A Shift in Aerospace Innovation Commercial Start-up’s have overtaken Academia and Tier 1 Primes ® faradair Like the innovators of aerospace in the past, Start-up’s are developing aerospace solutions today faster than Tier1 primes. That is an opportunity, NOT competition to the primes! The future? Exclusive first view ® faradair 2019 is the year Police were to be flying around L.A. with Blade Runners hunting androids, according to 1982 forecast by Ridley Scott – We are getting there… just not quite yet! NASA Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Market Study Crown Consulting Inc, Ascension Global, Georgia Tech, McKinsey & Company Issued November 2018 • Near-market segments: A commercially viable market for last-mile parcel delivery and air metro could be in place by 2030 • Likely market constraint: There is likely a limited potential market for air taxis/E-VTOLS in concentrated areas of high net worth individuals and businesses in 2030 ® • Key challenges: For UAM to be viable, it is necessary to address the technical, physical, operational, and integration challenges of a highly interdependent system-of-systems • Dependencies for the market to become viable: Safety and security – Economics - Transportation demand – Regulation - Market faradair substitutes (e.g. autonomous delivery and transportation) - Public acceptance But what about Regional Air Mobility? (Air Metro?) * Current certification process * Current network infrastructure * Current pilot training * Current safety standards * Proven demand * Opportunity to begin the process of simple ‘Air Mobility’?? Engineering versus Economic Business Case Many cool futuristic aircraft no longer flying – but a trusty utilitarian aircraft is, based on a 1956 design! “Like many single-engine Cessna's, the 208 is built with function in mind, not form. It has a boxy fuselage, strut-braced wing, and giant un-faired tires that scream “draggy.” The Caravan isn’t meant to win any beauty or ® speed contests—it was designed to be utilitarian, reliable, and tough, all things at which the Caravan succeeds.” AOPA faradair Light Air Transport Sector Many existing airframe designs are 30+ years old with challenging economic viability The short haul domestic regional air transport to date has faced numerous challenges, including; • Cost of asset ® • Cost of operation • Maintenance issues • Vintage designs • Noise issues • Operational site restrictions faradair Founded from Experience in 2014 Faradair Aerospace Limited has been working on a solution for Regional Air Mobility About us The existing domestic air transport model is broken. ® Faradair® has considerable experience in the commercial aerospace and technology sectors and was involved in pioneering unmanned air vehicle (UAV) development over thirty years ago.
