Agenda Overview Business Case Customer Needs State of the Market: 2058 Competition Potential Missions Requirement Development Benchmarking Data Conclusion 2
Overview DC-3, Historical Perspective Range Capacity Reliability Success of the DC-3 Business Model Captured a large Market Share Technology expanded borders of flight 3
Daedalus One Provide a versatile aircraft with medium range and capacity to meet the needs of a commercial aircraft market still expanding in the year 2058 Incorporate the latest in technology to provide reliability, efficiency, while fulfilling the need for an environmentally friendly transportation system Possess the ability to operate at nearly any airfield 4
Business Case: Customer Needs Airlines Short Runway Capability ▪ Hub and Spoke System ▪ Evolution of Flight Routes Moderate Passenger Capacity ▪ Lower Cost than Jumbo Jets ▪ Promotes Full Flights Appropriate Range ▪ Versatility in Flight Routes ▪ Cross-Continental not Required 5
Business Case: Customer Needs Charters Small Airport Capability ▪ Demand to avoid hubs ▪ Increase speed of travel Generous amount of Passengers and Cargo ▪ Enough space to carry an entire travel party in one plane ▪ Extra Space = Extra Cost 6
Fulfilling Customer Needs Passenger Capacity Large enough for medium-medium high demand travel routes Small enough for chartered flights Range Long enough to fulfill most passenger needs Shorter range reduces overall aircraft cost Short Runway Capability allows flexibility in flight routings for all customers 7
State of the Market: (2058) Chart From Embraer 8
State of the Market: 2058 Immediate (2008) demand for medium capacity aircraft 28, 600 aircraft delivered in the next 20 years (Boeing) 56, 000 aircraft delivered in the next 50 years Majority of aircraft will be regional jet or single aisle Our Aircraft Fills gap between Regional and Single-Aisle ESTOL capability Generous Range Expect to capture ~15% of market (8, 500 aircraft) 9

What Won’t Happen in 2058 The Obvious Transporters Warp Drive Jet Packs Improbabilities Flying Cars Space Planes Mag-Lev Cars 11
Competition, Digital: Teleconference/Telepresence What it can do Communicate information over great distances Give the illusion of people worldwide being in the same room Be scheduled easily and activated quickly Useful for meetings What it can’t do Provide perfect interaction Compensate for time zones Will not replace business travel, even on a global scale 12
Competition, Land-Based: Personal and Communal Transport Automobiles Alternative Energy Sources Artificial Intelligence Vehicle Control Faster Driving Speeds Cannot achieve Aircraft Speeds, Safety, or Range Rail Higher Speeds Low Environmental Impact Excellent over Short Ranges Cannot cross larger bodies of water Speeds still too low over longer ranges Infrastructure expansion slow and costly 13
