Why an Industry Consortium?
3
The Small Aircraft Transportation System concept
is a safe, affordable travel alternative that
will provide new mobility and create equitable
access to more communities in less time for the
general public.
An augmentation to hub and spoke and a key to
the Next Transportation System . . .

Need for Transformation
Transportation is critical to our nations
economy and our quality of lifebut today we are
straining its capacity limits, producing delays
and congestion

What is SATS?
SATS is a research development project on
Aviation capabilities leading to integrated
flight demonstrations in 2005

• Higher-Volume Operations in Non-Radar Airspace at
  Non-Towered Facilities Reliable Access to More
  Destinations through Efficient Use of
  Underutilized Airspace
• Lower Landing Minimums at Minimally-Equipped
  Landing Facilities More Landing Facilities
  Available More Often At Less Cost
• Increase Single-Pilot Crew Safety Mission
  Reliability Safer Small Aircraft Operations,
  Greater Throughput in Underutilized Airspace
• Enroute Procedures Systems for Integrated Fleet
  Operations Increased Mobility Without
  Sacrificing Capacity

6

• Higher Volume Operations

7
Market Pull for Increased Mobility

• Booming Business Aircraft Market
• Dramatic growth in fractional ownership
• New class of Very Light Jets/Prop aircraft
• Designed to access small airports
• On-demand services emerging in market

And others.

What is SATS TSAA?
Transportation Systems Analysis Assessment Model

• Uses accepted transportation analysis methods
• Socio-economic based (county level detail)
• Demand and supply relationships
• Multi-mode in scope
• Aerospace technology sensitive
• Can be applied to other NASA and FAA projects
• Two presentation schemes
• Computer platform independent (Matlab version)
• Platform dependent (Stand-alone model with GUI
  integrated DLLs)
• Employs Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
  technology
• Map Objects
• VB interface

VLJ Air Taxi Demand Forecast
TSAA National Market Demand Studies Indicate

• In 2010 the potential annual demand is 16.6
  million person round trips requiring
  approximately 8,300 aircraft
• Current certification and production plans
  indicate a maximum of 5,000 VLJs available by
  2010
• 5,000 VLJ air taxis could generate approximately
  16,000 additional flight per day - a 27 increase
  in IFR flights
• In 2022 the potential demand grows to 27 million
  person round trips requiring approximately
  13,500 aircraft
• 13,500 VLJ air taxis could generate approximately
  41,000 flights per day a 50 percent increase
  in IFR flights
