Book Description
Biz Jets: Technology and Market Structure in the Corporate Jet Aircraft Industry traces the development of business jet aircraft from the mid-1950s through early 1993. It begins with a discussion of the technological and market opportunities existing in the period prior to the introduction of the Lockheed JetStar and the North American Sabreliner. The subsequent appearances of other biz jets -- the Learjets, HS-125s, Jet Commanders, Falcons, Gulfstreams, Citations, Challengers, Mitsubishis and derivative aircraft are treated in considerable detail. Biz Jets also covers 'planes involved in many unsuccessful attempts to enter the industry from 1955 through 1993. The study shows that while the industry has been quite concentrated throughout its history, the positions of the leading firms have always been contestable. Indeed, leaders at one point in time have often been displaced by others who succeeded in marshalling technological and market opportunities to their advantage. Manufacturers have had to undertake continuous efforts to improve the price-performance characteristics of their aircraft to gain and hold their market shares. Rivalries in the effective use of the stream of new technologies have brought forth new aircraft with both better performance and lower operating costs. At the same time, however, participation in the market has been extremely risky. Only a few companies have been able to earn profits. Entries, exits and mergers have altered the structure of the industry, but it remained decidedly unstable at least through 1992.

Book Description
"Are you a young man with the ability to sell aircraft?" So read the advert in Flight International in 1972. Three months later David joined Britten-Norman, selling aircraft ever since navigating around wars, coups, aircraft accidents, bankruptcies, medical scares and economic collapse in Africa and Asia. When joining Bombardier he started selling the Challenger, Regional Jet and Dash 8 aircraft but for 23 years focused on the sale of the ultimate aviation aircraft: the business jet. "Having sold aircraft all my working life I was not of a mind to change direction, nothing else entered my mind."

Book Description
Aircraft building is a major industry for many developed countries. This book, first published in 1986, provides a comprehensive survey of the state of the world aircraft industry. It looks at how the industry developed, and at its problems. It examines the role of governments, showing how this differs from country to country. It concludes by assessing the prospects for the future shape of the industry, particularly as newly industrialised countries become more involved.

Book Description
This book describes and analyses factors shaping the competitiveness of the U.S. business jet industry during 2006, as well as the industry's structure world-wide. The United States has been the leading player in the industry since its inception in the 1960s. Three of the six global business jet producers are head-quartered in the United States, while the other producers maintain at least one U.S-based production activity. However, competition is strong, frequent cutting-edge updates are necessary, and demand is cyclical. During the recent economic downturn, deliveries dropped 57 percent. This decline largely reflected customers' lower profits and the scarcity of credit, which especially weighed on potential buyers. U.S. industry officials also indicated that sales and developments of business jets were affected by the availability of financing, continued investment in research and development to maintain innovation capability, and the timely certification of business jets to provide state-of-the-art aircraft to the market.

Book Description
Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: On the 26th of August 2010 the new ultra-large-cabin ultra-long-range Gulfstream G650 business jet reached Mach 0.995 during its flight test campaign (1). This is almost the speed of sound (Mach 1) and inspires one to say, why not fly faster than the speed of sound! Reduce travelling time in the commercial business aviation segment. This is, however not a completely new vision. Many companies and research facilities have already spent a lot of time and investment in studies to investigate the feasibility of supersonic flight. Entry Into Service (EIS) for the new Gulfstream G650 is scheduled for 2012. In the following the main performance parameter of the G650 aircraft will be summarised. The parameters range, cruise speed, MTOW, etc. have been selected and serve as a basis to allow an appropriate comparison between the G650 as the latest high end Subsonic Business Jet and potential in future Supersonic Business Jets (SSBJ) within this subject Master Thesis. With the impressive maximum range of nearly 13,000 km the G650 can connect Dubai with New York or London with Buenos Aires within almost 14 hours. Maximum Range @ Normal Cruise Speed: 7,000 nm/12,964 km. Normal Cruise Speed Mach: 0.85/904 km/h. Mmo (Maximum Operating Mach Number): Mach 0.925. Maximum Cruise Altitude: 51,000 ft/15,545 m. Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW): 99,600 lb/45,178 kg. Maximum Fuel Weight: 44,200 lb/20,049 kg. Passengers: 11 18. Price: appr. 60-70 million USD. Gulfstream business rival Bombardier Aerospace also announced in October 2010 two new high end models, the Global 7000 and 8000 with a maximum range of 7,300 nm (13,520 km) and 7,900 nm (14,631 km) at cruise speed Mach 0.85. Entry Into Service is scheduled for 2016 (Global 7000) and 2017 (Global 8000). A comprehensive overview of business jets in service and in development is given in attachment 13.1. A Supersonic Business Jet flying at Mach 2 cruise speed could virtually halve the travelling time, which would enormously enhance the mobility and flexibility. In order to achieve this ambition a paradigm shift is required. New technologies must be established, the impact on the environment must be understood and minimised, existing regulations must be changed to permit overland flight restrictions and the product still needs to be economically viable. All of the above aspects must be considered and will be subject for discussion within this Master Thesis (See also figure [...]

Book Description
The Dream: Bushman to Business Jets is a true story of becoming a pilot. The struggle to get that elusive first job, to travel, to see the world and eventually write a book about it. Travelling to remote parts of the world, people met along the way, the anecdotes and experiences over the past twenty plus years. It's a positive story not only for aspiring pilots, but everyone in general, an understanding that people are the same around the world. We all have the same ambitions, struggles and basic needs in life. Working as a pilot afforded me that experience, at times it was not at all glamorous, but merely an existence, and in the end, an experience. Graduating flight school in 1996, I didn't expect I'd ever be living in Russia, or spending time in Kazakhstan. I never thought I'd sail a boat halfway across the Indian Ocean and almost run out of food, or break my skull on a ceiling fan and have surgery in Singapore. It's a story about a journey filled with obstacles, faraway exotic locations, foreign countries, deserted islands and exploring the world. I graduated from Aviation College in May 1996 with a Diploma in aviation technology and business management. That was the easy part. Then began the struggle to find that elusive first job, build enough hours and eventually get hired by an airline. The airlines offered that dream of a glamorous jet-setting lifestyle travelling the world. So at least that was the image of it all. It turned out quite different than planned. My career as a pilot for the past twenty plus years has afforded me not only to travel on almost every continent, but to live full-time in many remote locations. I initially started writing a journal of the interesting things I had encountered, which eventually turned into a book. The story of the struggle of getting my first job flying seaplanes on remote islands near Alaska, working in the Yukon and the high Arctic of Canada. Then onto the Maldives, and chain of remote islands in the Indian Ocean, five years in war-torn Angola then onto Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Argentina, Kazakhstan, China and many other places in between. A story about a journey filled with obstacles, faraway exotic locations, foreign countries, deserted islands, people, culture and exploring the world.
