What needs in the market The System is intended to satisfy.
a. The need to break the ever increasing upward spiral in the cost of new Aircraft, their jet engines, and their joint operational costs per, passenger mile.
b. A study of the Boeing & Airbus Market appraisals both reveal their total dependence on the ongoing use of conventionally configured Aircraft for the next 20 years.
c. There has been no fundamental improvement achieved in Jet Powered Aircraft design since the invention of the bypass engine, followed by it's fan derivative in the late fifties through the sixties
d. This vast Industry is investing it's entire future in a range of conventionally configured designs that will have existed relatively unchanged for over sixty years by, the end of 2017.
e. This Industry has enjoyed a steady market growth over the past four decades that must be the envy of many other Industries. To keep the illusion of economic viability alive It has had to resort to the borrowing of money at a GEARING rate of such a scale that as a direct consequence it is no longer working for itself, but, it's Banks. The Industry virtually belongs to it's Banks.
f. As a direct consequence of the foregoing considerations this Industry now finds itself locked into the need to pursue an ever larger market not just to improve it's profitability, but simply to commercially survive. Let there be yet another economic recession such as there was in 1987 through the early 90's and the sound of the economic CRASH of this Industry will create reverberations way beyond the reaches of our own galaxy.
g. The scale and cost involved in the market prediction through to the year 2017 involves the use of the equivalent of a trillion United States, $'s at it's 1997 value. The forecast picture however does not show how poorly this vast sum of money is in fact likely to perform. If the evidence of the years 1985-1997 is anything to judge by, it will continue to be very poor.
