Hughes was a lifelong aircraft enthusiast pilot and aircraft engineer. Operating from Hughes Aircraft at the Glendale Airport he built one of the most technological important aircraft of its time, the H-1 racer. The H-1 Racer set an air-speed record of 352mph over a test course near Santa Anna, CA in 1936. Although his record was broken two times that year, a year later in January 19, 1937 he redesigned the H-1 Racer and set a new transcontinental air-speed record. He flew nonstop from Los Angeles to New York in 7 hours 28 minutes and 25 seconds.
NAA had relatively few producers of its interior business. Some of them made complete seats; others made coverings and cleaning services. Fell Fab had two manufacturing sites and ability to transfer specifications electronically between them made it competitive. The seat covers production process: Although making seats to an airplane seems easy, different features and variations in airlines seats made it difficult. Even for a single aircraft type different seats were requested, first class seats were different from economy class seats.

It has even increased its market shares with the rise of military aircraft sales mainly because of its conservative policy and strong working capital position. In September 1979, HMTC asked for an extension of its $1,000,000.00 loan until the end of December of the same year from St. Louis National Bank. Also, the company asked for an additional loan of $350,000 that would be repaid December 1979 with interest rate of 1.5%. II.

They have chosen Boeing as an aspirant company. would you choose Boeing as an aspirant company? why or why not? There are other aircraft manufacturers S&S Air could use as aspirant companies.

Their service strategy is based on short-haul, point-to-point direct flights that are accomplished with amazingly short turnaround times. With their strategy, Southwest has a strong majority of the market share in the point-to-point market. Southwest’s goal is to make air travel affordable to all, both the time-sensitive business traveler and the price-sensitive leisure traveler. They are able to offer their low ticket fare because of good management-labor relations, fast turnaround time at the gate, faster speed of operations offered with smaller airports, and lower maintenance costs due to flying only one model of airplane. The strong leadership, strategy and culture that were built and are supported by Herb Kelleher, the former CEO of Southwest, support all these items that keep ticket fares low.
Having already filled the market with 747s, Boeing is looking to capitalize on the demand for direct flights and medium capacity requirements. Airbus on the other hand is producing the A380, an aircraft capable of carrying up to 800 people. Airbus is looking to replace the ever growing old Boeing 747s in the market with a higher capacity more fuel efficient plane. Its easy to compare the two aircrafts in terms of size and primary use. The A380 is a high capacity aircraft capable of transoceanic flights, while the 787 has relatively the same traveling distance, but a maximum passenger count of 280.
The industry successfully made changes that has made airplanes much safer. Specifically, cockpit interaction has been the focus of aviation safety over the last twenty years. How pilots react to the airplane and each other came under great scrutiny. Crew Resource Management (CRM) was just one of the many results. However, one area continues to looms over aviation safety like a dark cloud: Pilot fatigue.
