    /

    Gulfstream has delivered 200+ special missions aircraft to support governments and militaries in more than 40 countries. It’s also the leader in business jet segments having most advanced fleet meeting the requirements of its clients. In an exclusive interview, Mr. Mark Burns, President, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. shares his thoughts with Vishal Kashyap, Managing Editor, Aviation World on special mission aircraft and its market size, the business jet segments, sustainability, thoughts for India and many more important issues. Excerpts of the interview: What are the portfolios that Gulfstream Special Mission Aircraft caters to? More than 200 Gulfstream special missions aircraft have been delivered to over 40 countries, including all branches of the U.S. military. A record number of deliveries and projects are currently underway in aeromedical transport, airborne research, command and control, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and airborne early warning. What’s the market size for special mission aircraft and where does Gulfstream position itself? We see strong demand for Gulfstream’s special missions business, and opportunities for growth exist across our product line. Gulfstream aircraft are ideal for special missions for the following reasons: • Gulfstream-modified aircraft help create an aircraft architecture that can easily accommodate shifting technologies and integrate the latest communications systems and command and control systems • Gulfstream’s fleet offers compelling combinations of size and speed ideal for special missions • Our large-cabin aircraft can perform missions at higher altitudes, reach those altitudes more quickly and fly farther for longer durations. • Gulfstream performance advantages include lower fuel burn and lower maintenance Gulfstream also has the unique ability to manage aircraft modifications in-house with a dedicated team of engineers and professionals at our special missions facilities. Such modifications executed by Gulfstream include significant aircraft adaptations to support and accommodate specialized equipment necessary to address mission-critical needs. Who are the potential customers for special mission aircraft and which segment of its operation is the most preferred one? Governments, militaries and institutions around the world choose Gulfstream for their special missions aircraft needs, whether for medevac aircraft, head-of-state transport, atmospheric research or highly specialized military applications. Gulfstream’s new family of advanced technology aircraft provide a wide range of solutions for today’s special mission requirements. From the G280, to the G700 and G800, our fleet of aircraft offers unparalleled combinations of range, speed and cabin size to support a variety of requirements. What are the specifications of the business jet categories of G700 and G600 in terms of operational capability, SAF and advanced technology? Gulfstream’s next-generation family of aircraft, including the G400, G500, G600, G700 and G800 offer an aircraft for every mission, and they do so with industry leading flight deck technology, safety, cabin comfort and efficiency. This next-generation fleet features safety enhancements and technology that have transformed business aviation, including the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck with the industry’s first active-control sidesticks and most extensive touch screen technology – it was purposefully designed to be simple and intuitive, reducing the crew’s workload and increasing time saved. Gulfstream’s research and development investments have also enabled us to create a cabin environment that is the most comfortable in the industry and supports passenger health and well-being. The Gulfstream Cabin Experience includes 100% fresh, never recirculated air, industry leading low cabin altitudes, and a plasma air ionization system, all complemented by Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows that allow an abundance of natural light to fill the cabin –these elements help ease passengers’ transitions through different time zones. We also lead the industry in sustainability with fuel-efficient, noise- and emissions-reducing aircraft and continued innovations with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Gulfstream completed the world’s first trans-Atlantic flight on 100% SAF – a significant step forward in the research and development of using 100% SAF – and was also the first in the business aviation industry to conduct ground emissions testing of 100% neat SAF containing zero sulfur, a significant step in further reducing the overall climate impact of business aviation. In addition, Gulfstream’s large-cabin aircraft were designed with advanced aerodynamics and feature engines with advanced technology, which, combined, reduce drag and increase fuel efficiency. All these developments also help our customers meet their own sustainability goals. What value proposition does Sustainable Wings accreditation from the National Aeronautic Association (NAA) add? We were excited to set two new city-pair speed records on SAF with the G700 in June and earn the NAA’s Sustainable Wings certification for both flights – Gulfstream also earned the NAA’s first Sustainable Wings certification in 2021 on the G500.Demonstrating the use of SAF in setting speed records and earning the Sustainable Wings accreditation is important to us in our efforts to show the efficacy of SAF and promoting sustainability across the aviation industry as a whole. What’s your take on the Gulfstream’s presence as well as demand from India? The market in India is very important for Gulfstream, and we are seeing increased interest in the region. We are also seeing an increase in charter traffic in India, which can ultimately lead to new buyers after they experience first-hand the benefits of business aviation. What’s the order line that you have at present? Gulfstream is currently experiencing one of the biggest backlogs in company history, thanks to robust demand for our aircraft from around the world.

    Interviews

    Exclusive Interview: Nils Heuer, Sales Director, Deutsche Aircraft

    /

    At the 55th edition of International Paris Airshow, German aircraft manufacturer, Deutsche showcased its revolutionary D328eco® aircraft mock-up, with the enhanced customer experience centre. The 40-seater turboprop has already garnered a lot of interest from the regional aviation sector due to its various new initiatives like low-emission propulsion system, advanced avionics and ergonomic seating with intend to elevate passenger comfort. In an exclusive interview, Nils Heuer, Sales Director, Deutsche Aircraft speaks with Vishal Kashyap, Managing Editor, Aviation World on the various aspects of the aircraft. Excerpts… Tell us about Deutsche Aircraft and the new D328eco? Deutsche Aircraft is a German aircraft manufacturer based in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich in Germany. We build on the heritage of aircraft pioneers and Dornier’s reputation for design, quality and innovative aircraft solutions. Dornier was one of the founders of the German aviation industry that had its headquarters in Oberpfaffenhofen and that developed the original Dornier 228 aircraft. We are now bringing it back to the market as the improved and stretched Dornier, i.e., D328eco. What’s the USP of D328eco aircraft? The D328eco is the first new regional turboprop aircraft in the 21st century. If you look at other aircraft in this size category in the market, they are mainly based the technologies from 30 years ago. For the first time in the 21st century, we are really developing a new regional turboprop aircraft that comes with the Garmin G5000 Prime flight deck which is unique in this kind of aircraft category and the very modern and efficient and reliable Pratt & Whitney PW127XT-S engines. What are the seat configurations and key features of D328 Eco aircraft? It’s a 40-seater regional aircraft that brings comfort to the regional aviation world for the passengers. At the same time for the airline operators it delivers the right economics. It’s a very efficient aircraft where lot of focus is on reducing the operating cost in general and maintenance cost of this aircraft in particular. With a new engine, the advanced aerodynamic design of the wing and the fuselage, it achieves a very low fuel burn for this aircraft. At the end, it helps to achieve the right operating economics which are important for regional airlines that operate such an aircraft on low demand routes. What is the production schedule and what are the delivery timelines? This aircraft will be certified in Q4 2027 and delivery will start thereafter. We are developing this aircraft in our headquarters in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich and the production will take place at our new final assembly line in Leipzig which is currently under construction. Our maximum production capacity will be 48 aircraft per year. Which markets you are looking as your priority market? We are looking at three types of markets. On one side, what we call the replacement market. These are established regional aviation markets like North America, Europe, Australia where we have an existing regional aviation industry. But thee airlines are flying today 25+ year old aircraft that are not in production anymore and inefficient and expensive to maintain. So, we are targeting the replacement of these aircraft. Then, we are targeting growth markets like India which is one of our key markets. We see a lot of potential and thanks to the development and the support from the government with the UDAN scheme that helps now establishing better regional connectivity for the Indian people. There is a big potential to serve the Indian communities, especially in the areas where you have challenging operating environment like in the north and in the Himalayan regions as well also in regions where tourism plays a role for example the Lakshadweep islands. D328eco could be an ideal aircraft to link these islands. The third segment we are targeting with the D328eco is what we call the multi-role segment. So, applications in the field of air ambulance, firefighter, cargo transport also maritime patrol or ISR applications. The original D228 used to be very successful already and we are also convinced that the new D328eco will be successful in this field. What are the key modifications made on this aircraft? In general, this aircraft brings the right performance for regional aviation which mostly operates in challenging environment. One such issue always faced is the shorter runways because their might be constraints due to various reasons. Our focus is that D328eco has good so-called short take-off and landing (STOL) performance and it requires only 800 metres short runways and you can achieve 70 per cent load factor and still have a range of 250 nautical miles. We have a dedicated cargo area at the back that has plenty of room to store bags from the passengers. There is also a completely new redesigned cabin now with large overhead bins so that passengers can also take their carry-on bags, trolley bags and put them in the overhead bins. With two to three years of delivery timeline how do you look forward to capitalize market like India? The 328eco has some special performance characteristics that make it really unique for India. It allows Indian regional airlines to fly to places where other aircraft can’t go. As I mentioned above, it can operate in the Himalayan regions because it has a 30,000 feet ceiling, that’s the highest ceiling in its class. It has the highest climb rate in its class, and also the highest single engine ceiling, its outstanding performance characteristics allows airlines to develop markets where they’ve never been able to go before. And then on the other side, if you look at especially touristic regions that the Indian government wants to develop and promote. For ex, Lakshadweep Islands, where D328eco could be used to serve these small islands as bigger aircraft can’t operate due to runway constraint and insufficient demand. What would be crew requirements and seat configuration? It’s a 40-seater aircraft and the global practice is to keep a single cabin crew also inside. The seat configuration is in a 2+1 format where we have two seats
