Aircraft Design Was Modeled More Closely After It
Aircraft Final Project GD3-200 Prepared by: Group 3 Tian Chen. Quoc Tran . Oge Onuoha. Tony Haughton. Jean-Etienne Dongmo. Introduction The GD3-200 is a twin engine, new technology jet airplane designed for low fuel burn and short-to-medium range operations. This airplane uses new aerodynamics, advanced composite materials, structures, and systems to fill market requirement that cannot be efficiently provided by existing equipment or derivatives. The GD3-200 will provide airlines with unmatched fuel efficiency. The airplane will use 20 percent less fuel for comparable missions than any other airplane in its class. The key to this exceptional performance lies in the use of advanced composite materials for the majority of the airplane’s fuselage and wing structure. GD3 has also enlisted General Electric to develop engines for the new airplane. The GD3-200 is a highly fuel efficient low-noise airplane powered by General Electric new GEnx CF6-6 engines. These 9.5 to 1 high-bypass-ratio engines are reliable and easy to maintain. Using GEnx derived technology means these engines bring an average 15 percent improvement in specific fuel consumption over all other engines in its class. In the passenger configuration, the GD3-200 can typically carry 186 passengers (200 including crew) in a six-abreast, mixed class configuration over a 3000 mile range with full load. The GD3-200 can be equipped for Extended Range Operations (EROPS) to allow extended over-water operations. Changes include a backup hydraulic motor-generator set and an auxiliary fan for equipment cooling. Mission Requirement Payload: -200 passengers/crew at 200 lb each (includes baggage) 40000lb -5000 lb Cruise: 0.8 Mach at 33000 ft Cruise Range: 3000 miles Cruise Altitude: 33,000 ft Loiter: 30 minutes at 0.8 m Mach at 33000 ft Climb: Initial climb to cruise altitude starting at maximum takeoff weight Take-off distance: 5000 to 6000 ft with 50 ft clearance at sea level and standard conditions at maximum takeoff weight Power plant: more than 1; high-by-pass turbofan; choose from existing ones. -
Aircraft: Boeing 727, 737, 747, 757; Douglas DC-8, DC-9
No.: 2009-20080703001 Date: September 4, 2009 http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/safety/programs/sups/upn AFFECTED PRODUCTS: Aircraft: Boeing 727, 737, 747, 757; Douglas DC-8, DC-9 and MD-11 aircraft Part Number: Half Hinge Assembly, P/N 3953095U504 Notes: Additional parts may be affected (see parts list below). PURPOSE: The notification advises all aircraft owners, operators, manufacturers, maintenance organizations, parts suppliers and distributors regarding the unapproved parts produced by Watson’s Profiling Corporation, located in Ontario, CA 91761. BACKGROUND: Information received during a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Suspected Unapproved Parts (SUP) investigation revealed that between August 2005 and November 2007, Watson’s Profiling Corp., 1460 Balboa Avenue, Ontario, CA 91761, produced and sold parts (SEE ATTACHED PARTS LIST) without Direct Ship or Drop Ship authority from The Boeing Company. Furthermore, Watson’s Profiling Corp. is not an FAA Production Approval Holder. The parts produced by Watson’s Profiling Corporation have the following characteristics. • Their accompanying documentation indicates that the parts were manufactured by Watson’s, Profiling; however, they did not have FAA approval to manufacture and sell the parts as FAA-approved replacement parts. In addition, the investigation determined that some parts passed through various distributors. The majority, which were sold by Fossco Inc., 1211 Rainbow Avenue, Suite A, Pensacola, FL 32505. Documentation with the parts incorrectly indicated Watson’s Profiling, had -

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION SECTION [Abrupt Start] ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Ronald J. Epstein Analyst, Bank of America Merrill Lynch Randy Tinseth. Randy is the Vice President of Marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes. I think, Randy, here give us a pretty staple view on where we are in this commercial cycle and what's going on. And one thing I might add, Randy's got a pretty cool blog, throughout the blogosphere if you kind of see Randy's updates which are helpful. And then, maybe one last little housekeeping point. Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, we're going to do a commercial aerospace panel with Richard Aboulafia [indiscernible] (00:32) what's going on from their independent view in the commercial cycle and in the aftermarket. And then, in the afternoon, I urge everybody to come and see our defense panel. We've got Ambassador Hill. He was the Ambassador for South Korea; and John Park, who is the Head of the Korea Program at Kennedy School of Harvard, giving update on what's going on in North Korea. And eventually, [indiscernible] (01:02) session that's going to come up. So, without further ado, Randy. -

Coddington The Boeing 727-200 and 757-200 are both narrowbody aircraft designed for short- to medium-range flights carrying 164 to 214 passengers. Until recently, when overtaken by the Boeing 737, the 727-200 program was the most successful aircraft program in history. The 727 airplane has carried 2.3 billion passengers, equivalent to half the world's population (Sterling, 1992). More than half of all 727s sold were advanced 200s and as late as 1990 an incredible 50% of all U.S. passenger traffic had flown on 727-200s since the advanced model was launched in 1971. -

SHUTTERSTOCK.COM PHOTO; COVER DESIGN BY BRANDON LUONG COVER STORY SHUTTERSTOCK.COM PHOTO BRILLIANT! | 12 Boeing has a wide-ranging presence in the United Kingdom. The company operates The Portal, a decision-support center in Farnborough, with partner QinetiQ. Many British entities contribute to the 787 Dreamliner airplane. And Boeing’s partners are helping develop technologies that support Boeing products. Here’s a look at why the UK matters to Boeing—and vice versa. FEATURE STORY | 42 A clean shave Welcome to the Boeing Portland facility in Oregon, where huge hunks of metal are machined into airplane parts. The rate at which this site strips away metal to form a new part is the baseline on which Boeing measures its performance against the machining industry—and Port- land has one of the best metal-removal rates in the world. BOEING FRONTIERS JULY 2008 3 Contents BOEING FRONTIERS Proud bird | 25 With a flawless combat deployment in Iraq that included 1,500 successful sorties and 3,600 flight hours, the Bell Boeing V-22 tiltrotor is proving itself to be what the U.S. Marines have said all along it would be: an aircraft that will transform military operations. Looking 30 years ahead | 26 Maintaining its technological edge is a matter the Super Hornet program at Boeing takes seriously. The program is following a strategy—the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet “Fight Plan”—that charts the course for improving this aircraft’s combat capability over the next three decades.
