Airplanes

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that both aircraft, the Beachcraft 1900D and the Gulfstream IV, are quite similar in many of the specifications and performance levels; however, they are designed for different uses. The author points out that, to evaluate the utility of each plane, characteristics such as takeoff, climb and cruise performance, descent performance, landing performance, and runway requirements, which is a one good indication of its market position and value, should be examined. The paper relates that the Beachcraft 1900D ideally is suited for commercial commuter use; however, other characteristics, such relatively long range (approximately 1000 nautical miles), high flight ceiling of 33,000 feet, 2600 climb rate, and cruising speed of 278, also make it an ideal choice for several providers in both national and international markets. O the other hand, the Gulfstream IV is designed primarily for "luxury, corporate transport".

From the Paper:

"When considering the important external components of the landing gear as well as the engine characteristics, again the 1900D is well suited for commercial commuter use. This is because the craft allows for the installation of and electro-hydraulic anti-skid feature (which may be extremely useful in some locals and/or conditions). Of course, the hydraulic function of the landing gear (as well as the breaks) can be overridden by manual operation. Further, its engines (designed and manufactured by Pratt and Whitney), are designed specifically (through their flat-rating at 1,279 shp), to function longer (without serious breakdown), conserve power, as well as allow for high altitude/hot day performance, again, placing it of high value in many particular geographic areas and markets."
