  • Engine Values Book Issue: 20 – March 2020
    Engine Values Book Issue: 20 – March 2020 Member of ISTAT UK CAA Approval No. UK.MG.0622 www.iba.aero Welcome to the 18th edion of IBA’s Engines Values. We have updated it with current views on engine values, lease rates, maintenance costs and maintenance informaon along with market data supported by IBA.iQ, our Online Plaorm which now provides engine values. In this year’s editorial, we must of course recognise the recent and sudden onset of the Covid‐19 pandemic. At the me of wring, we appear to be nearing the peak of daily new cases though much of this remains uncertain with the world’s governments connuing efforts to promote self‐isolaon and quaranne. The aviaon market has seen a steep drop in demand with some operators parking all aircra and others parking up to 80% of their fleet. Future demand levels remain as yet uncertain, but we are monitoring the situaon carefully. Naturally, due to the unclear condions that lie ahead, the market has effecvely been put on hold and as such all quoted values and lease rates provided in this edion refer to the market situaon immediately prior to the Covid‐19 outbreak. The impacts of Covid‐19 will be far reaching, affecng everyday lives of the world’s populaon for several years. IBA spends a great deal of me assessing the relaonship between base and market values, carefully considering short‐, medium‐ and long‐term factors. So, whilst market values can fluctuate, we remain confident in the connuing stability of base values overall. The variables here will typically be the duraon and scale of the soening values, inevitably affecng some markets more than others.

Prof. Feng Liu PhD. Prof. Filippo Maggi PhD. locations: Irvine, California Milano, Italia That you are here — that life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. — Walt Whitman, 1867 to my family ABSTRACT The gas turbine engine efficiency deteriorates dramatically when its size is reduced. This fact limits its use for low-power and long du- ration applications, due to fuel weight. It is conceivable to replace a small scale gas turbine engine with a different power generating tech- nology such as a Diesel engine providing higher efficiency. In this work, comparisons are made for propulsion systems for unmanned flights with several hundred kilowatts of propulsive power at mod- erate subsonic speeds up to fifty hours in duration. The weights of the propulsion system, required fuel, and total aircraft are consid- ered. Gas-turbine engines, two- and four-stroke reciprocating (diesel and spark-ignition) engines, and electric motors (with battery stor- age and/or electric generation) are analyzed.
