  • 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.

  • News Release
    News Release Winglet Technology Announces Elliptical Winglets Upgrade for Cessna Citation Sovereign Wichita, KS (October 18, 2013) — Wichita, Kansas-based Winglet Technology, LLC announced today plans to upgrade existing Cessna Citation Sovereign business jets with Winglet Technology’s patented Elliptical Winglet design. Winglet Technology and Cessna Service Center network are collaborating on the project which is set to begin flight testing this month. In addition to the Elliptical Winglets, the upgrade will include a 350 lb gross weight increase. Winglet Technology submitted an application and certification plan for FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) project to the FAA in July and received project go-ahead from the Wichita FAA Aircraft Certification Office (ACO) earlier this month. Winglet Technology and Cessna Service Center network are targeting entry into service during the first quarter of 2015. Winglet Technology expects the upgrade to provide higher weight/altitude/temperature (WAT) limits allowing more flexibility when operating from high / hot airports, improved climb performance that allows higher initial cruise altitudes, higher maximum cruise speeds at high altitudes, and increased range for a given payload throughout the operating envelope. Winglet Technology Engineering expects the Elliptical Winglet equipped Sovereign to climb direct to FL450 at the 350 lb higher maximum take-off weight. The Elliptical Winglets will increase the Sovereign’s wingspan from 63 feet 4 inches to 69 feet 4 inches. The 350 lb gross weight increases MTOW from 30,300 pounds to 30,650 pounds. “The Elliptical Winglet upgrade will provide Sovereign owners and operators with even greater operational flexibility. The Elliptical Winglets are a great high altitude compliment to the Sovereign’s outstanding short field performance.” said Bob Kiser, President and Managing Member of Winglet Technology, LLC.

  • Cessna Citation X Static Cruise Improvement Using Morphing Wing Application on Its Horizontal Tail
    DOI: 10.13009/EUCASS2019-494 8TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE FOR AERONAUTICS AND SPACE SCIENCES (EUCASS) Cessna Citation X Static Cruise Improvement using Morphing Wing Application on its Horizontal Tail Marine Segui, Vittorio Rogoli and Ruxandra Mihaela Botez ETS, Laboratory of Active Controls, Avionics and AeroServoElasticity 1100 Notre Dame West, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H3C-1K3 [email protected] Alessandro Ceruti University of Bologna, Department of Industrial Engineering, Italy Abstract This research consists in reducing Cessna Citation X fuel consumption using a morphing technique applied on its horizontal tail. The airfoil of the horizontal tail is morphed according to known airfoils series as NACA 4 digits and NACA 6 digits. Airfoils of each series have been selected by their capacity to act on the trim manoeuver without using the stabilizer position, while reducing the fuel consumption of the Cessna Citation X. Up to 2.92% of the fuel consumption has been saved for more than 160 static cruise conditions tested. 1. Introduction This paper presents a study conducted at the Research Laboratory in Active Control, Avionics and Aeroservoelasticity (LARCASE), needed to improve the fuel efficiency of the Cessna Citation X business jet. Several methods could be used to reduce the fuel consumption of an aircraft. For instance, airlines could optimize their aircraft trajectories according to the forecasted weather at the time of each flight [1-9]. From a design point of view, it is feasible to improve aircraft performances with new optimized components (surfaces), for example, with more ecological engines [10]-[11]. All these techniques will provide some benefits for both airline companies, and for the environment thanks to the fuel saving [12-14].

  • SUBJECT: February 2, 2017 Mark Reichin Propeller Airports LLC Paul
    DATE: February 2, 2017 TO: Mark Reichin Propeller Airports LLC FROM: Paul Dunholter, P.E. BridgeNet International SUBJECT: Snohomish County Airport Commercial Service EA Noise Assessment - Response to Comments BACKGROUND The following memo is a response to the comments outlined in the memo “Recommended revisions to noise analysis in EA/FONSI to support incorporation into SEPA” prepared by Jason Volt on September 16, 2016. The memo listed 12 comments that are addressed below. In addition to the response to the comments, the noise contours from the Environmental Assessment (EA) were updated using the FAA’s new AEDT noise model. The results of contour updates are presented in a separate memo report dated February 1, 2017, “Snohomish County Airport (Paine Field) AEDT Noise Contour Update.” The contour update included modeling the original commercial aircraft studied in the NEPA EA as well as alternative commercial aircraft. The “original commercial aircraft” refers to the Q400 regional turbo prop aircraft and MD83 commercial aircraft assumed in the EA, while “Current Generation” refers to the EMB175 regional aircraft and 737800 commercial aircraft that reflect common aircraft used today and assumed to be in service within the planning horizon of the NEPA EA. The Maximum Throughput was also evaluated in that memo for both the assumptions presented in the EA and with an assumed higher level of activity. February 2, 2017 RESPONSE TO COMMENTS 1. Why are counts of operations in the base case (2008) higher than future year 2013 or future year 2018 operations? This is not intuitive. Existing operations numbers should be explained when the report is updated with the base case of 2016 or 2017.
