©2015 CARTER AVIATION TECHNOLOGIES, LLC 20 Mission Definition • Using same typical & planning missions as McDonald and German* • Typical mission for operating cost only requires 30 sec hover for T.O. & landing • Worst case mission for planning (i.e. charge required before taking off to fly a given mission) requires 120 sec T.O. & landing for given mission + 120 sec T.O. & landing for reserve + 2 nm reserve cruise • For sizing, assuming 4 min continuous hover

©2015 CARTER AVIATION TECHNOLOGIES, LLC 21 Cruise Performance Model

• Analysis conducted with Carter’s proprietary cruise analysis model • For SR/C, developed mainly for cruise when rotor is unloaded • Model calibrated to measured flight data for PAV. Inputs were scaled appropriately for these concepts. Carter PAV L/D vs. IAS • Had to estimate drag contributions 14 from different elements, since the 12 aircraft is only instrumented to 10

measure overall thrust* 8 L/D • Interference & separation drags can 6 Meas'd account for up to ~1/2 of total aircraft Model drag, and must be accounted for to 4 allow accurate L/D prediction (based 2 on flight test experience by Carter and 0 0 50 100 150 200 250 Bell / Ken Wernicke) IAS, mph

• Air taxi analysis breaks flight into short Note: Data scatter mostly attributable to gathering data segments, incorporating climb, when developing rotor rpm / mast control algorithms descent, and reserves and varying rotor rpm considerably

* Overall drag is calculated based on thrust adjusted for rate of climb/descent – report with methods is available

©2015 CARTER AVIATION TECHNOLOGIES, LLC 22 Battery Assumptions • Using same rationale as McDonald and German* for useable battery capacity • Top 10% & Bottom 10% of capacity inaccessible • 80% capacity accessible DOD = Depth of Discharge • Ignoring internal resistance losses for this analysis

Ignored for this analysis

• Model with a simple empirical curve that mimics those trends, where C is a constant 퐶 푇푖푚푒 = 퐼 2 − 1 퐼푟푎푡푒푑 • Based on text in ‘Uber Elevate’, assume a motor that can be overloaded 1.5x for 90 seconds (paper stated 1–2 min).

©2015 CARTER AVIATION TECHNOLOGIES, LLC 24 Empty Weight Estimation

• Weight estimate for all concepts used same methodology • Structures & Equipment Groups based on method in Chapter 15 of Raymer, Daniel P: Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach • Structures weights multiplied by 0.50 to reflect gains from carbon- composite construction, with the exception of tilt rotor wings, which were multiplied by 0.625 to reflect the higher bending moments due to carrying lift from prop/rotor • Landing Gear based on historical Carter data, not Raymer's method (same for all aircraft) • Propeller weights based on historical Carter data • All Equipment Group weights from Raymer included. Even if the system per se wasn’t in the aircraft, the functions it would have done must still be performed by another system, so the weight must still be accounted for (e.g. hydraulics) • All other weights based on best engineering practices and judgment

©2015 CARTER AVIATION TECHNOLOGIES, LLC 25 Prop-Rotor Performance • Conceptual design using a blade element model validated through previous Carter propellers – calculates FOM & efficiency • Includes induced velocity • Airfoils design by John Roncz • Uses CL & CD vs. alpha lookup tables for -20° < α < +20° • Models CL & CD as sine functions for α < -20° or +20° < α • Includes simple estimation of critical Mach & drag divergence Mach (Mcr & Mdd) based on CL, & increases CD accordingly • Completed for both tilt rotor configurations (substantially different operating parameters due to disc loading) • Different flight regimes in hover and cruise make prop-rotor less efficient than a conventional propeller • Varied prop-rotor planform area to shift optimization from static (hover) performance to cruise performance • Requires very low RPMs in cruise for best efficiency – only possible with electric motors

• Cruise RPM is ratioed by HPcruise/HPhover, assuming constant torque from motor – results in very low cruise rpm, especially for ‘T’ Tilt Rotor • ‘T’ tilt rotor can achieve higher static FOM, but because of very high disk loading, actual HP requirement is still much higher

©2015 CARTER AVIATION TECHNOLOGIES, LLC 39 Motor Sizing for OEI Hover • Sized motors to maintain hover even if one motor fails (One Engine Inoperative – OEI) • Must maintain balance around CG, not just total lift • To keep motors as light as possible (min empty weight), minimize power increase for each motor (not total power) – strategy depends on which rotor fails Inboard Rotor Motor Failure Outboard Rotor Motor Failure Failed Failed Rotor Rotor

Increase Decrease power, Increase Decrease to power but not to zero power zero power Tail Rotors Tail Rotors don’t provide don’t provide significant lift significant lift Motor HP Req’d Normal Inboard Rotor Outboard (34’ overall width, 1.1 margin) Hover Failure Rotor Failure Inboard Rotor HP Req’d (L / R) 194 / 194 Fail / 388 547 / 547 Outboard Rotor HP Req’d (L / R) 194 / 194 388 / 144 Fail / 0
