Can paying for performance redefine how aircraft are designed, leased and serviced? Part 8

January 3, 2012

Serguei Netessine of Wharton has written on performance-based contracts by analyzing different contract considerations in a principal-agent analytical model. His goal was to determine the best way to structure supplier contracts. “First, it should give the supplier the incentive to reduce cost. Second, it should share risk. Third, it should achieve the greatest performance possible.” Why should investors care about performance based contracts? Because they represent a disruptive technology that could change how products are made and serviced in the future. This series of eight insights examine the potential for change in commercial aircraft support contracting.

Why was Boeing so slow to join the race for up to 19,000 new narrow body aircraft?

September 6, 2011

In a recent announcement, Boeing's board of directors has approved the executive plan to re-engine existing models of the Boeing 737 in response to Airbus's similar plan for repowering its A320. The "new" aircraft will be called the 737MAX. The aircraft will be powered by the CFM Leap-1B engines that Boeing says will make the new 737 4% more efficient than the new Airbus A320NEO which is due to enter service in 2016. Boeing wants first deliveries no later than 2017 and is suggesting, but not promising, that they might be ready earlier.

What is in an aircraft design’s Cost Reduction Claim? (4:4)

June 21, 2011

The advent of the Next Generation Narrow Body aircraft has seen more performance claims and counter claims than any aircraft design to date. As investors in the Aerospace sector, I am certain that you harbor frustration over new aircraft designs performance claims that appears in the Trade Magazines; - statements making tantalizing performance claims that always seems to be missing some part of an equation to allow for a meaningful evaluation.(Excerpt: Narrow Body Savings Claims - Part 4).

Ongoing Debate over the introduction of the Next Generation Narrow Body Aircraft

September 6, 2010

Analysis of:P&W looks to avoid GTF industrial headaches | www.flightglobal.com

Fuel Burn claims - are they real and is Specific Fuel Consmption (SFC) improvement enough to create a rationale for introducing the Next Generation Narrow Body Aircraft?

The Race for the biggest Share of the Narrow Body Aircraft Segment

July 24, 2010

The Next Generation Narrow Body aircraft segment could be a very crowded segment, if all of the designs announced become a reality. The Narrow Body (NB) aircraft development is centered around the replacements of the 737NG and A320 Families (150-190 Pax) with the development of Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ 737RS, and Airbus’ A320RS, and add to that the new entrants like the MS-21/ Russian designation MC-21 (120 -212 Pax) from the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) and the Chinese C919 (156 Pax) from the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) as well as the CSeries Small Narrow Body (100-145 Pax) developments from Bombardier Aerospace: CS100, CS300 and possibly a CS145; as well as the already operating fleet of small narrow body aircraft like the ">Embraer E-Jets: ERJ-195-100 (105-109 Pax) and the planned ERJ-195-200 (122 Pax) and Bombardier’s large Regional CRJ-1000 (100 Pax), the new ARJ-21-900 (105 Pax) and potentially the Alenia Aeronautical and Sukhoi new larger SuperJet100 variant – altogether12 candidates compared with only two in the previous generation – a six-fold increase.

The Ontario Dual Purpose Energy Strategy – Is it attempting to do too much?

October 26, 2009

Analysis of:Germany fuming over Ontario's (Canada) solar-policy | server1.streamsend.com

In September the Ontario (Canada) Government issued a Ministerial Directive in support of an electric grid Feed-In-Tariffs (FIT). Offering the most attractive payments anywhere - a Strategy intended to replace Coal Fired Power Plant by 2014; a move that could prove to have great impact on Solar financing, but the Political Imperative dictates that Manufacturers must meet a Domestic Content quota of 50% going to 60% in 2011 a target that can only be reached if Production takes place in Ontario.

Geared Turbofan Hyperbole

Analysis of:JAPAN'S FIRST PASSENGER JET, A GEARED TURBOFAN, WINS FOREIGN ORDER | www.avweb.com

It has been reported on many occasions since 2007 that P&W's Geared Turbofan (GTF) would have Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) improvements of 30%, but is this true?

Mitsubishi Corporation, Japan´s largest industrial group, plan to extend their collaboration in renewable energy and other sustainable development projects worldwide as a result of their synergies in technologies, business activities and geographic locations.

Analysis of:Mitsubishi takes stake in Acciona solar firm | www.reuters.com

March 4, 2009 Madrid, Spain: Mitsubishi Electric Takes 34% Stake in Moura 46MW Project This deal marks the first collaboration of both companies in renewable energy. ACCIONA, one of the world´s largest renewable energy companiesThe 45.8MWp Amareleja (Moura) plant is the world´s largest grid-connected photovoltaic solar plant and required an investment of 261 million Euros. It has an estimated annual production of 93 million KWh, enough to supply 30,000 homes with electricity.  This make it the ideal first project for ACCIONA and Mitsubishi Corporation to mark the launch of their new collaboration in renewable energy and other sustainable development projects The 250-hectare Amareleja plant will avoid the emissions of 89,383 tonnes of CO 2 a year that would have otherwise been produced by coal-fired power stations producing the same amount of energy.
