Creating Value for the US Creating value for the U.S. Emirates is a consumer-focused, profit-driven, financially transparent and non- subsidized enterprise that has earned a profit for 30 straight years. How? Because million jobs created and sustained in the Emirates is a fully commercial airline committed to world-class customer service, 1 U.S. aerospace industry by is well-managed, and has pioneered an innovative aviation model: connecting Emirates’ aircraft, engine and service purchases long-haul to long-haul services via a hub, thereby reducing costs for the airline and providing unrivaled global connectivity for travelers. start of Emirates operations In 2004, Emirates began flying between New York JFK and Dubai, which is Emirates’ hub. The 1985 relationship between Emirates and the U.S. however goes back much further, in fact, it was in 1991 when Emirates placed its first order for the wide-body Boeing 777 aircraft. This aerospace relationship spanning decades combined with the air connectivity to and from the U.S. means aircraft Emirates is a significant value creator for U.S. communities, workers and consumers. an all Boeing 777 and 273 Airbus A380 fleet destinations in 86 countries on six 158 continents U.S. airports served with Emirates 12 passenger flights thousand+ Emirates passengers 300 connect annually onto U.S. partner airlines Emirates and Boeing celebrate the delivery of its last Boeing 777-300ER in December 2018 billion estimated annual local $3.3 economic value to 10 Emirates: a significant engine for American airports and surrounding regions served by Emirates aerospace manufacturing jobs in the U.S. (based on economic impact studies Not only does the relationship with Boeing span decades, Emirates is also currently the largest from respective airports or regions) Boeing 777 operator on the planet, with one of out every eight 777 aircraft ever manufactured by Boeing having been delivered to Emirates. The 777 is the backbone of Emirates’ fleet with 164 777s of various configurations in service today, and another 190 next-generation Boeing aircraft including the 777X and 787 on order. In November 2013, Emirates was a launch customer for Boeing’s next generation 777 aircraft, In November 2015, Emirates signed the Boeing 777X. In an unrivaled demonstration of support for Boeing and the 777 program, a $16 billion “OnPoint” contract with Emirates placed an order for 150 Boeing 777X aircraft including 300 GE9X engines to be GE Aviation for maintenance, repair delivered from 2020 onwards. This was the single largest order by value in the history of U.S. and overhaul of the GE9X engines commercial aviation, and also GE Aviation’s largest ever commercial jet engine contract from powering Emirates’ new Boeing any airline. 777X aircraft. In November 2017, Emirates placed a further $15.1 billion order for 40 Boeing 787 Dreamliners. “The relationship between GE and Emirates remains strong, and the Emirates’ total purchases and orders of aircraft, engine and maintenance from Boeing, finalization of the GE9X OnPoint GE Aviation and Engine Alliance since 1991 has created and sustained one million American agreement further extends our jobs, based on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s jobs multipliers and Boeing list prices.

  • Preparation of Papers for AIAA Technical Conferences
    Assessment of the Performance Potential of Advanced Subsonic Transport Concepts for NASA’s Environmentally Responsible Aviation Project Craig L. Nickol1 NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA William J. Haller2 NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, OH NASA’s Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) project has matured technologies to enable simultaneous reductions in fuel burn, noise, and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions for future subsonic commercial transport aircraft. The fuel burn reduction target was a 50% reduction in block fuel burn (relative to a 2005 best-in-class baseline aircraft), utilizing technologies with an estimated Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 4-6 by 2020. Progress towards this fuel burn reduction target was measured through the conceptual design and analysis of advanced subsonic commercial transport concepts spanning vehicle size classes from regional jet (98 passengers) to very large twin aisle size (400 passengers). Both conventional tube-and-wing (T+W) concepts and unconventional (over-wing-nacelle (OWN), hybrid wing body (HWB), mid-fuselage nacelle (MFN)) concepts were developed. A set of propulsion and airframe technologies were defined and integrated onto these advanced concepts which were then sized to meet the baseline mission requirements. Block fuel burn performance was then estimated, resulting in reductions relative to the 2005 best-in-class baseline performance ranging from 39% to 49%. The advanced single-aisle and large twin aisle T+W concepts had reductions of 43% and 41%, respectively, relative to the 737-800 and 777-200LR aircraft. The single-aisle OWN concept and the large twin aisle class HWB concept had reductions of 45% and 47%, respectively. In addition to their estimated fuel burn reduction performance, these unconventional concepts have the potential to provide significant noise reductions due, in part, to engine shielding provided by the airframe.

  • Triple Win 777X
    VOLUME TWENTY ISSUE TWO b 2015 Triple with win the 777X A trusted partner In this issue of Horizons, you’ll learn how the selection of Rockwell Collins to provide significant flight deck and flight control content on Boeing’s new 777X aircraft was a major achievement for our company. As explained in the cover story, “Triple win with the 777X,” our company is able to now provide flight deck commonality across Boeing’s family of next-generation airplanes, including the 787 Dreamliner and 737 MAX. As a result of this commonality, Boeing will realize savings in life-cycle costs across all these platforms. And any future upgrades and new solutions can be rolled into the entire fleet of aircraft. The 777X award also highlights several of Rockwell Collins’ characteristics that differentiate us in the marketplace and helped make this achievement a reality: strong, collaborative customer relationships; a constant drive to provide state-of-the-art products and services; and our responsive, reliable customer support. In this issue, you’ll also read several articles prompted by employees who have shared stories about how they’re listening to our customers all over the world and working with them on solutions that meet their most critical needs. As a result, we’re not just viewed as another supplier, but as a trusted partner. Moving forward, we must continue to stay engaged with our customers. The result will strengthen the momentum we’re building in the marketplace and drive business growth for both our customers and Rockwell Collins.
