“Double your
money” program launched
A new incentive scheme has been launched
allowing people with $10,000 or more to contribute to and profit
from Briggs Aerospace Technologies multiple developments in
global infrastructure.
“Double your money” enables anyone to invest
and regain double the amount back, tax free in Australia. This
process happens at a rate of 20% rebate with either BAT portion
sales or directly from “Double your money”. The $300 billion
worth of portions are used as collateral, which will become more
attractive with the work completed by this new program.
The program has a maximum value of $20
Billion (Australian dollars), benefits including -
-
Building 5 hypersonic test aircraft –
V-1 through to V-5 – to test engines, technology and flight
parameters for Neecenow airliners and the J2000 programme.
-
Fund Shaeneen4 into production:
including STOL and Hydrogen powered versions – the world’s
first certified production hydrogen powered airliner.
-
Fund Shaeneen5 into production:
including STOL and Hydrogen powered versions.
-
Fund Pacifica, the effort to clean the
rubbish from the Pacific Ocean.
-
Providing potential portion buyers with
confidence and trust in BAT.
-
Enhancing word of mouth exposure of BAT
portions within the investment community.
-
Provide the entire industry with
guidelines for hypersonic flight and cryogenic fuel use.
-
Provide improved business infrastructure
for the entire set of programmes.
HYT’s stunning
performance amplification goes 110 what’s!
The J2000 programme has undergone a
significant design enhancement boosting high-orbit payload to
110 tonnes, almost as much as the Saturn V rockets 130 tonne
payload; except HYT will be totally reusable and be able to
re-fly in days. Flight costs will be half again the original HYT
configuration, with added safety from a large increase in thrust
to weight ratio.
The performance is gained from incorporating
six rather than four engines to the base Neecenow design. The
extra power significantly lifts take-off and climb performance,
as well as safety. Long term benefits of being able to lift this
much weight will be enormous for the Space industry, an industry
currently in crisis with lunar missions similar to the Apollo
effort planned by the Chinese and Indians, the Americans wisely
doing very little; all with little long-term purpose.
Considering a
claimed $2 million basic mission cost (excluding the portion
buyers repayment) means payloads could be put into orbit for
only twice that of sending parcels long-distance, with the
turn-around rate, separate airline companies competition and
engine improvements all increasing cost performance to the point
where inter-stellar travel dreams becomes reality.
Shaeneen4
DC-series and Shaeneen5 DJC-series launch
Briggs Aerospace Technologies has announced
the arrival of the Shaeneen4 DC-series of airliner, a 110-130
seat airliner with half the operating costs of present
airliners. Simultaneously the Shaeneen5 DJC-series has been
launched: this is a 95-110 seat airliner of the same
configuration.
The airliners will be the first Briggs
Aerospace Technologies type to be produced. Unlike the Portion
sales programme, which hope to use existing large airliner
manufacturers, these types will be built by BAT manufacturing
facilities paid for by the “Double your money” program. This is
a new concept in producing an airliner formerly funded by
Governments or Banks prior to the Portion sales programmes -
also unique to BAT. Due to capital most likely coming into the
“Double your money” program faster than BAT portion sales,
Shaeneen4 and Shaeneen5 are estimated to be entering service in
4 or 5 years time.
Although somewhat of a surprise move, it has
been anticipated more versions of Shaeneen would be produced.
The DJC and DC-series represents one of the peak sectors of
airliner production, with greater numbers of airliners being
built in this category than any other. Shaeneen4 and Shaeneen5
will be cheaper to operate than turbo-prop airliners half the
size, and cost little more. This aspect enables current users to
operate a Shaeneen4 or 5-series and have better price per seat –
in other words travel at half the cost, should airlines fill the
aircraft. Having two similar sized airliners built close
together means skills and parts can be standardised, reducing
overall costs.
Shaeneen4 and Shaeneen5’s will also be the
first cryogenic-fuel airliners to achieve certification and
provide every airliner to be powered by such fuels with
production rules, guidelines and certification foundations for
generations to come. Hydrogen powered versions of DC and
DJC-series will have zero carbon emissions. The airliners will
be produced at a rate of around 400 units per year, reducing
waiting times and costs for airlines with aging fleets. Reducing
costs and increasing manufacture rate enables the airline
industry to reduce its carbon footprint much faster.
Karaya launched
Briggsat unveiled the $3 billion Karaya
development aircraft to fulfil testing of Neecenow and J2000 HYT
technologies, primarily to test contenders in hypersonic engine
development programme. Karaya is funded by the new “Double your
money” program within Briggs Aerospace Technologies. The design
is the first set of full specifications from this business made
public, though typically - for commercial reasons - no pictures
are provided. V1 through to V-5 aircraft will be built in an
unspecified location in Australia.
The test aircraft will be unique in being
able to be totally reconfigured with a new fuselage and wings,
thanks to the old-school manufacturing technique of having a
tubular fuselage rather than a monocoque design. Nose cones will
also be interchangeable to find out things such as lowest drag
and best N-wave performance: a way of reducing or even
eliminating sonic booms - seen as a problem of faster flight. It
will initially be configured to test a single hypersonic engine
while being capable of flying independently on normal engines
should the test engine shutdown. Karaya will lower development
costs of the forthcoming Neecenow airliners, with savings used
to meet any inflation impacts, and pay for the “Double your
money” program producing Karaya.
Karaya will reduce certification costs,
prove technology and create a test-bed for hypersonic aviation
development for all future airliners. The initial test range
will likely be in Australia between the East and West coasts,
over un-populated regions, with study underway to find other
locations for long distance test flights later in the test
programme. Construction of the five Karaya’s is set to begin
late 2011.
“Pacifica”
announced
Briggs Aerospace Technologies has announced
it venture to clean up the Pacific Ocean. This is an operation
which will remove floating debris from the middle of the two
ocean gyres in the Pacific Ocean, a mass of rubbish twice the
size of France. Marine life is affected by this rubbish, though
to an unknown extent, it is thought to kill millions of fish,
birds and mammals annually.
Pacifica is being
funded by the “Double your money” program, enabling people to
increase their wealth without risk - getting rich for a good
cause. BAT has allocated $1 billion to set up infrastructure to
collect and recycle as much of the rubbish as possible. This
includes recycling materials probably thought to not be
recyclable; polystyrenes and plastics can be grounded down,
sterilised, glued into composite sheets and used in the building
industry. Pacifica will set up long-term solutions and later
clean up debris in other ocean gyres.
Ante up! HYT
engine programme funding prize to a huge $40 Billion
The Hypersonic engine development programme
has revised the system, with a massive $40 billion given to the
winner of the fly-off programme to produce the engine. Second
prize is just $3 billion less at $37 Billion dollars, in United
States currency values, with third prize scrapped. The increased
funding is much more appropriate for proper development of this
power plant, considering the $15 Billion General Electric spent
on developing the subsonic GE-90 series engines in the mid
1990’s. The Briggsat funding is realistic in a field where there
is less and less in touch with reality between Governments and
companies. The European Unions for example has given funding to
Reaction engines for hypersonic engine research: €20 million
Euro for four years. One, subsonic production General Electric
GE-90 engine costs $22 million U.S.
The development prizes have also been
improved with a billion dollars worth of free flight testing on
the Karaya, bringing the total pool up to $7 billion. The number
of winners of development funding has been slashed due to there
only being three main large aircraft engine manufacturers. An
individual effort may still win the big prizes as it is product
performance, not company reputation at stake. Recipients of the
development grant will have to produce two of their engine
designs for testing by the Karaya Hypersonic test aircraft
within 18 months, with 40% of the $6 billion development prize
initially allotted for this work.
The entry deadline
has been changed to January 8, 2012. Entrants have also been
given an E-mail address to forward their applications to, at
briggsat@rocketmail.com .
Letters of formal invitation have also been sent to the major
aircraft engine manufacturers all over the world.
BAT goes live
For the first time contact E-mail address
information has appeared on the Briggs Aerospace Technologies
site. Contacts are available for all portions, Augmet and the
new “Double your money” program. The Hypersonic engine programme
also has an E-mail address for submissions.
Originally this was kept from the site to
enable settling in of the technology, those that have come
across the site have been stunned by the progress of aerospace
after 40 years of stagnation. Investors now have ability to
contact BAT to answer any queries they may have. Commercial
information is displayed on the site already, but the ability to
make contact to test the water is an important feature in
improving customer service. But designers beware; there is no
chance of obtaining advice on hypersonic engine tweaking, or
obtaining ideas for Varulkarie.
The move is seen as unlocking the door to
something unique and surreal; bringing these machines another
step closer to reality.
STOL Shaeneen
options launched
On the back of the Shaeneen4 launch, Briggs
Aerospace Technologies has a new variant for all versions of the
world’s subsonic next-generation airliner; the Shaeneen. It will
be capable of extremely short take-off and landings, with
unpaved airfield capability also. The new type will expand the
current Shaeneen product range and increase the total market for
the type. STOL Shaeneen will have fantastic benefits to the
tourist industry, particularly since remoteness of a location is
seen as a plus, as well as the safety benefits a new type of
such performance can bring.
The type will be
capable of using 500 metre dirt runways and be available in all
Shaeneens as a custom option. This distance is calculated upon a
V2 speed engine failure-abort distance, meaning the aircraft
will be able to stop should an engine fail at take-off speed
within a 500 metre distance. The version is expected to sell at
a cost of around fifteen to twenty percent more than normal
versions.
Details of exactly how this
performance is achieved - in typical BAT style - have been kept
confidential. It has been reported range will be affected, as
will initial cost.
Many of the airline industries customers are
new to aviation, markets such as India and Africa where the
airline industry is growing at a phenomenal rate. Much of
aviations growth is actually taking place in these countries
rather than the West. The extra capability improves safety and
enables areas where there is no appropriate runway to prosper
from aviation. Even in Western countries funding for
new/improved runways and facilities is often limited, so the
growth benefit to low GDP nations will be high as one of the
major facets preventing economic growth is a lack of transport
infrastructure. This type also provides options for areas with
crowded airports, since these aircraft will be exceptionally
quiet – a new runway could end up in your back street.
With the operating costs of the Shaeneen
series expected to be around or under the price of operating a
turbo-prop twin, the airliner series is expected to be
incredibly popular. The aspect of relative mass production of
all Shaeneens will reduce purchase price substantially.
DC Shaeneen4 and
DJC Shaeneen5 production sites search begins
With the announcement of the Shaeneen4 DC
and Shaeneen5 DJC-series comes speculation of exactly where the
airliners will be built. It is said production location studies
are underway within Briggs Aerospace Technologies. There are
many mitigating factors in the hunt, particularly in terms of
economic impact in reducing unemployment, locality to lower
production costs because of components shared between the two
types and availability in numbers of skilled workers. Capital
investment, tax concessions and grant matching by the host
nation or nations have not been ruled out in influencing
production location of the airliners either, thought to be worth
a combined sales value of around $200 billion.
