“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.
