energy management and who we think will win...

Fort Irwin to build a 500 megawat solar farm | solar.coolerplanet.com

We know that GE's CEO has lunch 2X a week with the Brass in Washington... We know that GE has the most to gain or loose should they not get the contract to participate in this two billion dollar project. GE Infrastructure, GE Wind, GE... the list goes on and I am confident that all of the right people are talking to the right people. We think that understanding energy management and creating a system for open architecture prior to building the project is a must.

Recovery In Business Jet Demand - A Few Simple Truths

October 29, 2009

Business-Jet Demand Likely to Skid Before Regaining Lift | online.wsj.com

1) A brief historical review will show any casual observer that new jet deliveries lag wider economic recovery by some 12 months. 2) Demand heading into the current downturn was already dominated by international demand. 3) What most forecasts fail to highlight is who the winners will be as the business jet market recovers. Unlike prior cycles, some demand sources will be late to the party, and demand will not be evenly distributed across all OEMs and service providers.

Business Jet Recovery - The Road Ahead

October 28, 2009

Textron Barely Posts a Profit | online.wsj.com

The business jet cycle has certainly hit rock bottom, but will not show clear signs of recovery for at least six months. This recovery will be unique, in that there is significantly more competition, in virtually all major business aviation segments. As a result, understanding who will recover more quickly, and more sustainably, will require much more detailed analysis than before.

Another side of the tanker story

October 8, 2009

Pentagon in the Tanker | spectator.org

This acquisition is going to be political before it is anything else. Congress cannot stay out of it and the vendors are lining up their supporters. No matter what the SecDef says. Which is why he was clever to hand back the decision to the Air Force. Who would want to be in the midst of this?

The struggle with in-flight Internet

October 7, 2009

Row44 opens the door for BYOI | www.flightglobal.com

This space has been the promised land of airline ancillary revenue from way back before 9/11, when Boeing brought us their Connexion service.Boeing's product worked as promised, but the economic model did not. Boeing canned the service just as, many would argue, it was starting to gain momentum. The loss of Connexion hampered the in-flight entertainment industry - but two new firms are offering in-flight WiFi now with mixed success.

Well, the WTO Ruled in Favor of Boeing, But Bloomberg's Take Was Surprising

September 12, 2009

Boeing, U.S. Seen Winning WTO Case on European Aid to Airbus | www.bloomberg.com

So this story is already a week old, but crucially only three weeks into the one-month appeal time. EADS has already made the tactical error of calling this (interim) result "Only Part One", when it simply can't be -- the two cases are separate and so can't be interdependent..So what does EADS do? Appeal and underline its "Part Two" gambit or just totally ignore the reality of the huge anti-European findings and instead focus on the baloney of trying to "talk it out"? Talk, remember, is cheap.

Plane shrinks don't work well

September 11, 2009

THAI fails to transfer four long-range jets | www.bangkokpost.com

OEMs have often tried to offer a plane that is a shrink of the original and invariably this does not work. Even if the idea is to offer a niche plane that technically does the job, airlines that buy these planes seem to live to regret the decision.
