Introduction to Practical Cost Estimating Methods for VTOL Aircraft
Are you working to build the next great VTOL aircraft? Do you share an interest in trying to solve one of the great challenges to the application of rotorcraft? Whether you’re a student of aircraft design, a professional engineer, or a program manager, this short course is for you. In this 2 day class, we will explain the language, methods, and strategies that define the field of aerospace cost engineering as it is applied to VTOL aircraft. This class will teach you how to estimate and describe the cost of an aircraft and how to identify an affordable design.

Members of US Helicopter Safety Team (USHST) Helicopter Safety Enhancement #91 – Vision Systems Technologies and the EUROCAE/RTCA Working Group #79/Special Committee #213 are hosting a vision systems summit comprising of operators, regulators, helicopter OEM’s, and vision systems device manufacturers. The goal of this 4-hour meeting is to generate some consensus on a path forward for safety and operational credit for vision systems technologies (i.e. enhanced flight vision systems, synthetic vision systems, enhanced vision systems, and combined vision systems, head-worn/helmet-mounted displays) for vertical flight. This meeting will be important for industry members in the offshore, air medical, and corporate/VIP segments, but are happy to have others (i.e. law enforcement) participate as well.
