It was during an air show of National Business Aircraft Association (NBAA) exhibition that this news were availed.Ambrear company revealed its NEW Legacy 650 Jet the large executive jet category aircraft based on the successful platform of the super mid-size Legacy 650 which will provide longer range for up to 14 passengers currently, two Legacy 650s are performing flight tests with certification and first deliveries scheduled for the second half of 2010. The Legacy development costs are already included in the company’s research and in development plan for 2009-2010 and therefore; do not affect the guidelines previously provided by Embrear.

The Legacy 650 will fly up to 3,900 nautical miles nonstop with four passengers or 3,800 nautical miles with eight passengers, meaning approximately 500nm further than the Legacy 600. This significant increase in range was accomplished through extensive airframe modifications, such as reinforced wing and landing gear, larger fuel capacity, the new highly efficient and more powerful Rolls-Royce AE 3007A2 engines. Honeywell’s new primus Elite avionics suite will equip the Legacy 650 future legacy 600s.

All of this is done while maintaining the same comfortable and functional interior of the Legacy 600,with its three distinct cabin zones and gallery, as well as the claimed large compartment of any executive jet.

Cabin noise levels were reduced with a state-of-the-art sound insulation package and the high-speed internet data link has been upgraded to Immarsats swift broad-band system. Besides its longer range ,the Legacy 650 has outstanding performance capabilities in such hot and/or high destinations as Dubai, Aspen, and Telluride (US) ,and Toluca (Mexico) .La Paz (Bolivia) also becomes a viable destination for the Legacy 650, due to the high attitude landing and take off capability that allows the aircraft to operate out of airports at elevations up to 13,800 feet it will also be one of largest executive jets allowed to fly in and out of the Cannes-Mandelieu (France) and London city (UK) airports.

Maximum operating speed (VMO) has increased to 300 KCAS below 8000 feet and 45 degrees maximum flap extended speed (vfe) increased to 160 KIAS, resulting in greater operational flexibility. Two Rolls-Royce AE 3007A2 engines power the Legacy 650 .This refined version of the AE 3007A1E engine combines an advanced wide-chord fan with a service-proven core-over 35-million hours of operations on all AE3007 models and updated full authority digital engine control(FADEC) software that optimizes fuel consumption during cruise. With 9020 pounds of thrust each, the engines produce an average of 29% less carbon dioxide (co2) than competitor’s older aircraft and up to 22% less than current generation jets. They also comply with the latest International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) stage IV noise.

Aerion chairman, Robert Bass, took the occasion of NBAA to re-iterate the company’s commitment of forging a partnership with one or more OEM partners and to being first to market a supersonic business jet. Other senior executive explained why the Aerion programme was the one feasible path to supersonic capability by the middle of the next decade.

Aerion senior advisor, John Holding, explained “supersonic natural Laminar flow (SNLF)- Aerions key enabling technology- is well proven at this point. There are no barriers to success. Technical risks are low, and the development of the jet is well within the capability of several manufacturers” he noted.

“The Aerion jets operational flexibility sets it a part from other proposed designs and makes it practical in the short term. It does not require a rule change to provide efficient transportation. The aircraft flies with efficiency equivalent today’s long-range business jets. When flying just below the speeed of sound. “It saves almost an hour when flying US coast-to-coast. It can cruise between Mach 1.1 and Mach 1.2 in ICAO countries, which is to say everywhere but the US. Over Oceans and some land masses it can operate efficiently at speeds up to Mach 1.6.

“The Aerion jet is compliant with stage 4 regulations and the latest emissions standards. Its fuel consumption and emissions are for below any other proposed supersonic jet, making it the most environmentally responsible choice. It can operate from the same general aviation airports as long-range business jets do today and for comparable operating cost.

With the previous market research it is evident that the is ready to embrace a supersonic jet, even if it cannot use its full supersonic jet capability all of the time due to regulatory restrictions.

Taking Care Of Business By Using VIP Executive Business Jet Private Charter Flights Globally

In the modern world where time is quite literally money, the utilization of business jets provides a flexible, efficient means of doing business .Yet; these sleek flagships of aviation style provide a diverse range of services far beyond the traditionally perceived roles. From multi-nationals to medivacs, the business jet can be found playing its part with panache.

Shaking Hands

While the internet and advanced communications have enhanced business efficiency, personal relationships are still at the corporate core. For all the online hook-ups, there will never be a substitute for the face-to-face interaction for an important business meeting. This fact has long been recognized by those who conduct commerce, but often the challenge has stemmed from conquering the tyranny of distance without losing out in other areas of productivity.

Unfortunately ,when Michael Douglas’ character of Gordon Gecko proclaimed that “Greed is good!” in the movie Wall Street it may have led to an Academy Award, but also propagated a stigma that hit corporate aviation in the late 1980s . This perceived image of that decade’s extravagance was far removed from the true purpose of business jets, which lies in the efficient allocation of time and resources. True corporate aviation is most definitely about tools and not toys. And as tools, business jets have the potential to repay the investment many times over.

Clients are not always based at airports serviced by regular airline routes and even if they are, business is not always conducted to a schedule with long lead-times. Corporate aviation permits the ability to respond to critical matters both when and where they take place, without taking a highly paid executive away from his other duties for an extended period.Futhermore, the distance between supply and demand can be varied and in response the range of corporate aircraft have diversified accordingly. Whether the call comes from across the seas or a neighboring city, there is a business jet built to respond.

Making Cents

Ownership of business jet is a significant decision for any company. It is not made on impulse, but in the cold, hard fiscal reality of the board-room .The jet must be able to earn its keep’ or its longevity in the modern corporate world is certain to be short-lived. Management must examine the potential benefits of the business jet and one difficulty can arise from the fact that some of the advantages are less quantifiable than others.

Accountants are easily able to break down travel budgets on an annual basis and identify how much is spent on airline tickets and hire cars. On this cost basis alone, the business jet will always face an uphill battle as it is more the nature of airline travel that can prove less conducive to business. Meetings are not always organized with adequate notice to benefit from cheaper fares, nor are can airlines they always guarantee that executive seated together. Furthermore, the timing of the meeting may not align efficiently with the airline services for that day.

Slightly less quantifiable is the true value of an executive’s time. While their package and bonuses can mathematically be broken down into a rough hourly rate, it is the issue of downtime that airline travel can sometime conceal. Queues, cancelled flights, baggage delays and waiting in gate lounges can be costly for an executive who is being paid the top dollar.Additionally, many destinations may not have a direct service, resulting in more downtime as transits and connecting flights eat up the minute’s enroute.

Corporate aviation can offer advantages both in terms of direct flights and minimizing downtime, however the advantages can reach even further. The onboard privacy can allow significant productive business to be done in the air without the prying eyes and ears of third parties. The intimate nature of the corporate cabin and club seating lends itself to efficient interaction between executives. And for those wanting to get work completed enroute, there is frequently access to phone communications and the ability to operate a laptop without a seat reclining into the executive’s work-space.

]]>

The corporate jet can also be availed to the client to bring them to the companies’ home base; no doubt an impressive way to conduct business. And there is no escaping the prestige that is inextricably linked to a business jet. It gives a definite aura of credibility that marketing campaigns can spend years trying to achieve. These advantages are virtually impossible to translate into direct dollar terms and yet they can still equate to sound business practice. Such is the specialized nature of corporate aviation.

Types for A Task

When Bill Lear’s first jet rolled off the assembly line in the early 1960s, it bordered on a revolution. Lear had built a small aircraft that could provide the speed and comfort of the expanding jet airliner market for a load of only 6 passengers. Rather than a novelty, the aircraft had created a genuine niche in the marketplace for the business traveler.

Much has changed over half a century and the business jet market has grown and diversified accordingly. It has recognized that business aviation needs are as varied the products and services that their clients sell. Range, speed, comfort, economy, short-field performance, capacity and cabin height are just a few of the considerations that distinguish one bizjet’ user from another. From the very light jets (VLJ) such as the single-pilot certified Citation Mustag,right through to the global reach of the Boeing 737 BBJ, all requirements can be catered for.

Beyond the budget, possibly the most significant challenge for the potential corporate aviator is to define their task accurately. What is the average sector length? How many passengers are generally required to be uplifted? Is pavement strength a dictating factor? What are the ground handling facilities at the most frequented airports of call? And so on. Ultimately, the final decision will be to source the aircraft that meets the majority of needs in the most efficient manner.

If runways are limiting in their length, then a straighter winged aircraft will offer the take-off and landing performance for a slight sacrifice in speed. Should the duration of the flights be significant, then cabin comfort and rest facilities may prove to be a priority. When operating into remote locations, the jet may require the autonomy of an auxiliary power unit (APU) for cabin power, air-conditioning and most importantly, the ability to start the engines. Each company will have its own requirements that determine the profile of its aero plane.

In response, some manufacturers have targettted specific areas of the market, while the likes of Cessna have developed the Citation range that extends from the small and simple Mustag through to the intercontinental citation x’ which can stretch its leg s at Mach 0.92 .Even the Learjet isa still in production after nearly 50 years, although it is under the Bombardier banner these days.

The winner amongst this sea of choices is the client. Whether the primary task is to operate into unsupported airfield at mining sites or to deliver celebrities between Hollywood and endless red carpet’ launches around the world, there is a business jet that can step up and be counted.

Off Broadway

The key to the success of the modern business jet is intelligent utilization. As such, it no longer resides solely in the realm of executives and celebrities. The performance and flexibility of business jets can fulfill the needs of a number of other specialized fields.

In the field of medical aviation, smaller jets are now frequently utilized in a variety of roles. From urgent medical evacuations and neo-natal retrievals to the transfer of stretcher-bound citizens to their homeland after an overseas misadventure. The fast, around the clock transfer of donor organs is another task ideally suited to the business jet profile.

Both governments and military bodies utilize business jets for VIP transport. Once again, the demands of this travel can be regional or global in nature and fleets are often established to provide the flexibility needed across this spectrum. The military also contract business jet in target towing’ roles for exercise in conjunction with all branches of the armed forces to simulate mock attacks.

These are all additional roles in which the business jet can excel in areas that jet airliners simply cannot compete. For some companies these additional duties can provide a source of income by leasing out their company aircraft in periods of downtime. Once again, this must be weighed against the loss of short notice availability of the company’s aircraft. Another means of reducing ownership costs over recent decades is the growth of fractional ownership.’

Fractional ownership is the aviation industry’s answer to real estates’ time share’ arrangements. While these arrangements can be varied, fundamentally the company pays an equal fraction of the purchase price of a business jet in conjunction with other companies. As a quarter owner’ or similar, of the aircraft , the company then pays a monthly fee to cover fixed costs and is entitled to a certain amount of utilization each year. As a part owner of the aircraft, the option also exists to sell that share should the need arise. The problem of dual bookings at the same time are offset by the fact that fractional ownership is often managed by specialized firms operating large fleets of comparable aircraft. One of the world leaders in fractional ownership is Net jets who operated

Flight News On Corporate Business VIP Jets Flights

Thanks to evolving technology any jet can now be considered as an executive or VIP transport. Size is of no consequence and can range from the small personal jet up to the leviathans, such as the Boeing 747 and Airbus A380.

Consequently there is an overlap in classification with some jets that used to be called VLJs now defined as light or entry-level jets.

The one common theme connecting them all has been the global economic problems of recent years. The economic situation has led to massive layouts of production and management personnel, forcing recalibration of production volume to meet the ability of the market to absorb new aircraft. A new study, The Market for Business Jet Aircraft, released by Forecast International at the end of 2010,projects that a total of 11437 business jets, worth an estimated 7,5-billion ,will be produced from 2010 through 2019.

The report also indicates that business jet production, which has dropped sharply since late 2008, will continue declining through 2011.

A recovery in overall business jet build rates will not occur until 2012.

This report was extensively covered in the February edition of World Airnews, but it should be mentioned here again that the study indicates that aircraft demand from fractional programmes helped spur the, market to great heights in past years but deliveries to fractional fell off substantially in 2009.

According to Raymond Jaworowski, Forecast Internationals senior aerospace analyst, “The focus of many fractional providers is on improving operations, reducing costs and consolidating aircraft fleets.

“The business jet market is not yet in recovery, but the worst of the market downturn is over,” said Jaworowski.”Order intake remains sluggish, but the wave of order cancellations and delivery deferrals experienced in late 2008 and much of 2009 has receded. The market is no longer in freefall.”

Meanwhile, demand is already starting to recover for larger, high-value business jets, but it remains moribund fro small and medium models. The top end of the market in particular is drawing considerable attention, with Bombardier recently launching its new Global 7000 AND Global 8000 models to compete with the Gulfstream G650.

It all suggests that the marketing people have a tough job on their hands. Certainly the customer is in a strong position and the range and scope of the following representative listing of business jets, offers considerable choice.

The following review deals with the various corporate cum-VIP aircraft. The listing is in alphabetical order according to the manufacturer of each type.

Airbus

Airbus Corporate Jetliner (ACJ) Family comprises the A318 Elite, Airbus ACJ and A320 prestige. The Family features a reinforced structure to carry extra fuel tanks in the cargo hold for intercontinental range, a higher and more efficient cruise-altitude of 41000 feet, air stairs for autonomy and high-thrust engines for optimum take-off performance.

Wide-body comfort is provided by the A330-200 prestige, which accommodates 50 passengers. The A340-300 prestige carries 75 passengers, while the A340-500 covers the longest-range flights, also with 75 passengers.

The A340-600 Prestige is the super-stretch version. The A380 Prestige is the modern leviathan, offering two main decks for accommodation and unsurpassed baggage capacity.

C-Jet Limited, of Hong Kong, has signed for the first VIP Airbus A350XWB.Called the Airbus A350XWB Prestige; the aircraft will feature a customized VIP cabin.

The Airbus Corporate Jet Centre (ACJC),which specializes in Airbus Corporate Jet (ACJ) VIP cabin completion and associated services based in Toulouse, France, has delivered its sixth cabin to an undisclosed customer in the Middle-East and confirms a growing backlog of Airbus Corporate Jet completions. The ACJCs latest delivery is an A320 Prestige equipped with Airbus GSM (global system for mobile communications) onboard system.ACJC has succeeded in adapting the supplicated GSM technology to the VIP cabin and airframe systems, enabling guests to use their mobile phones during flight.

The Airbus Corporate Jet Centre also specializes in tailor-made services and maintenance for ACJs, including the A320, A330 and A340 families.

Airbus delivered 15 corporate jets in 2010, worth more than US$ 1, 5-billion at list prices, setting a new record for this facet of its business. The aircraft comprised 13 A318 Elites, Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJs) and A320 Prestiges, plus two VIP wide body A330/A340s.

Airbus also won eight orders for its corporate jets in 2010, taking total orders to date to more than 170 aircraft. The new orders are seven from the A318 Elite/Airbus ACJ/A320 PrestigeFamily, plus one A330/A340.

Aerion Corporation

Currently in development, the Aerion supersonic business jet is designed to fly at twice the speed of today’s aircraft, while offering economy of operation comparable with conventional long-range business jets.

Key to this performance is patented supersonic natural laminar flow technology that substantially reduces drag at supersonic, as well as high subsonic cruise speeds. This design allows the use of existing power plant technology, namely the Pratt & Whitney JT8D-219 .Range at high subsonic speed is more than 4500 nautical miles and range at supersonic speeds exceeds 4000 nautical miles.

Additional details and preliminary results relating to a new round of flight tests in collaboration with NASAs Dryden Flight Research Centre were released recently. These tests, which took place in July and August 2010 and achieved a top speed of Mach 2, 0, mark the latest milestone in preliminary engineering activities for the SBJ.

Data gained from the initial series of five data flights aboard a NASA F-15B aircraft are being analyzed by comparing the static pressures recorded at 60 points on the flat plate at varying speeds and altitudes with those predicted by aircraft computer models, including the test pylon and flat plate test article. Engine inlet parameters are included in the model and adjustable to achieve the best fit with the measured pressures during the F-15B tests.

This process has been completed and the design of a test article to be used in the next series is well advanced .The design goals include achieving maximum extend of supersonic laminar flow, confirmation of its robustness under realistic conditions and cross flow pressure gradients.

When the aerodynamic optimization of the new test article has been completed, mechanical design and fabrication to NASA flight test criteria will be carried out by Aerion.Then, after ground and flight qualification tests by NASA, the second phase of the tests will be performed.

Currently the specification indicates a wingspan of 19, 57m, length of 45,19m and a height of 7; 09 m .Maximum take off weight is quoted as 40823 kilograms with a maximum fuel load of 20593 kilograms.

Antonov Design Bureau

The AN-74TK-200 has been designed to carry up to 52 passengers or 10 tones of cargo. An executive version is intended to carry 12 passengers and is fitted with additional heat and sound insulation and a passenger entertainment system.

The AN-74TK-300 features a passenger cabin interior designed and developed by InterAMI Interior.

Though the aircraft was initially conceived as an updated version of the An-74, this modification has virtually become a separate marquee with improved aerodynamic characteristics, which offer increased speed and lower fuel consumption and modern comfortable passenger cabin.

The An-74 VIP is an executive aircraft whose concept is based on the combination of a standard cabin and the provision of an additional compartment that can be used to carry either a team of attendants or oversized freight, such as a car.

Depending on the layout, the aircraft can carry 10 to 16 passengers over a distance of 2160 nautical miles to 2700 nautical miles.

The An-148-100 regional passenger jet is intended for transportation from 68 to 85 passengers over a distance of up to 2376 nautical miles. It has demonstrated an ability to operate from poorly equipped, unpaved, ice and snow-covered runways. Due to the position of the under-floor cargo compartments it is not necessary to use special ground equipment when loading/unloading the baggage.

Ivchenko-Progress State Enterprise has designed a new-D-436-148 engine for the An-148 family. It is equipped with FADEC and meets all the requirements of international regulation. The assigned engine life is said to be 40000 hours, 20000 cycles. Fitting Western-made engines is possibility, though no definite plans have been announced.

Anew variant adapted fro VIP Operations is designated as An-168 in Ukraine and as Antonov Business Jet (ABJ) in Russia.

BAE Systems Asset Management

The Avro Business Jet (ABJ) has a number of advantages both in terms of acquisition and operation. One feature is the immediate availability and affordability of the aircraft.BAE Systems Asset Management has a number of aircraft available and more continually coming on line that are ideal candidates for conversion to the corporate aircraft role.

With the recent entry into service of two more Avro Business Jets (ABJ) with operators in Europe and Latin America, this brings the total of ABJs in service or under conversion Worldwide to 24 aircraft.

A particular advantage is its exceptional airfield performance which opens up possibilities to access remote airports or to get in and out of “down-town” city centre airports.

The ABJ is fully Stage 3 noise compliant and is capable of meeting the proposed Stage 4 noise limits.

Travelers do have different requests and clearly stated as follows, Private charter, charter flight, jet charter, private jet charter which the air charter operator need to understand and provide the service as requested. Some clients request for charter flights with strict instruction connecting international flights at this time, this means the air operator has to inform the client on the aircraft flight time and departure time so that the traveler can plan accordingly and this should be priority in the air operator mind when giving the quotation.

For private charter, private jet, private jet charter, charter a jet from Kenya to the neighbouring countries you will require landing and over flight clearances which for Uganda it will take 2 working hours, Tanzania 2 working days, Rwanda and Burundi one working day notice like wise when you need to charter a flight from those countries to any destination in Africa you will require a clearance for landing and over flight other countries en-route your destination. Landing permission to any other countries outside Eastern and Central will require minimum 2 working days notice to maximum of 4 working days notice. Private jet charter prices can be charged on ( ACMI) that is Aircraft,Crew,Maintenance,Insurance and the other costs fuel, landing ,navigation, crew per diem ,clearance can be catered for by charterer. This type of arrangement is most suitable to organizations that can fly over 60 hours per month and as the hour’s increase the hourly rate reduces. These kind of arrangements is done in between United Nations, on-Governmental organizations which form consortium and lease aircrafts other than doing it individually thus enabling them to get a better ACMI rate. Private jets on adhoc charter flights are expensive as it is one on and one off affair so you end up paying so highly and not entitled to any discounts. Though the private jet charters are expensive but the comfortability, efficiency, effectiveness and reliability deserves the price charged as in-flight services are provided and you can give special instructions based on your diet and it will be adhered to. Also there is nothing like you are late for the flight, the flight is cancelled as if the jet goes unserviceable a replacement jet is given at no extra cost.

These private jets are used for the purpose for charter for air ambulance, emergency & medical evacuation flights and due to its reliability and efficiency it is used to transport patients who are in critical conditions to hospitals overseas for example France having to do only one stop over then direct to Frankfurt. In war torn areas the private charter are used when state of emergency is declared at it normally ideal for United Nations, on-governmental organizations, diplomatic missions in evacuate their personnel and since they fly up to 41,000 feet they do not risk being shot.
