2 . P erformance
All performance data mentioned below are based on a standard Aircraft configuration, International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) conditions and zero wind. Additionally, take-off and landing performance data are based on level, hard surface, and dry runways. Production aircraft performance will depend on actual flight conditions and vary from that described below.
Cruise

4 . F u selage G ro u p
The all-composite fuselage structure will consist of a combination of honeycomb sandwich structure and co-cured stiffened panels. An integrally stiffened panel structure will be employed for the constant cross-section portion of the cabin to maximize the cabin volume.

6 . Em p e n n a g e G r o u p
The empennage will be a T-tail configuration. The horizontal tail will be a conventional, two-spar, aluminum structure. The fin will also be a conventional, two-spar structure.

9 . S y s t e m s
9.1. Flight Controls The Aircraft will have dual flight controls with columnmounted control wheels and adjustable rudder pedals. A combination of cable and push-pull rod mechanisms will be used to actuate the primary control surfaces. Trim in all three axes will be provided by trim tabs. 9.2. Flaps A linkage mechanism will be used for the flap system. The flap system will have two positions: takeoff and landing. The flap system will be deployed by two electric actuators: one for each wing and each installed at the wing root. 9.3. Environmental System The environmental control system will provide control of the aircraft environment, with dual-zone control for cabin and cockpit. The cabin altitude will be maintained below 8,000 ft up to 44,000 ft. 9.4. Ice Protection System The ice protection system will be certified for known icing. Icing protection will be provided for the wing, horizontal tail, windshield, and engine inlets. 9.5. Electrical System Dual high-output starter generators will feed an automated electric power distribution system via separate busses. A standby battery will provide an additional source of electrical power for emergency operation. 9.6. Hydraulic System An electric motor operated hydraulic power pack will supply 3000 psi hydraulic power. The hydraulic system will provide power for the following systems during all flight phases: 1. Landing Gear Actuation System landing gears and doors 2. Steering System Nose Wheel Steering 3. Braking System 9.7. Fuel System The Aircraft will be refueled through a single point. During flight, the fuel will be transferred from the carrythrough tank to the right and left wing integral tanks by transfer pumps located in the carry-through tank. An automatic cross-feed function will be incorporated to correct fuel imbalance between the left and right wings.

7 . P o w e r p l a n t s
GE Honda HF120 turbofan engines mounted over the wing will be controlled by the Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) system.

5 . W ing G ro u p
5.1. Wing A newly designed natural-laminar flow airfoil, the SHM-1, will be employed for the wing. The wing will be constructed in two sections: the left and the right wing. The torque box will contain three spars, the ribs, and the skin with integrated stringers forming integral fuel tanks. 5.2. Nacelles and Pylons The aircraft engines will be enclosed by nacelles and shall be pylon-mounted over the wing. The pylons will be integrated with reinforced ribs. Access will be provided to the interior of the pylon for inspection and maintenance. Ventilation and drainage provisions shall be provided.

8 . L a n d i n g G e a r
The landing gear will be a typical tricycle-type layout with a steerable nose wheel. The nose gear will be of the shock-absorber strut type. The main landing gear will be of the trailing-link type. A side-brace actuator will be used to extend and retract the landing gear. The main gear will be equipped with an anti-lock braking system.

3 . S t r u c t u r a l D e s i g n Criteria
The fuselage will be constructed entirely of graphite composites. The wing and the empennage will be constructed of aluminum. The cabin will be pressurized up to 8.7 psi. All structural limit speeds will be defined to allow for cruise at maximum cruise thrust at normal cruise altitudes as well as efficient descent profiles.

The Aircraft employs an all-glass flightdeck, which is an integrated design having open architecture. All information, from flight and engine instrumentation to navigation, communication, terrain, and traffic data is integrated and digitally presented on the dual, large-format, high-resolution Primary Flight Displays (PFDs) and the Multi-Function Display (MFD). The PFD contains the airspeed indicator, vertical-speed indicator, adjustable altimeter, direction indicator, pitch and bank indicator (artificial horizon), slip/skid indicator, and navigation information. The MFD contains the Engine Indication Display, fuel flow, fuel quantity, generator current, and the Global Positioning System moving map. This integrated cockpit configuration provides for situational awareness, functionality, ease of operation, and redundancy to assist flight safety.

11 . I n t e r i o r
The standard cabin will be separated from the cockpit by a refreshment center, which will also serve as a divider and storage area. The cabin area will be a constant cross-section. A dropped aisle provides for a 4.9 ft (59 in) aisle height throughout the cabin area. The cabin will feature four seats in a spacious club arrangement with a forward side facing seat (subject to certification). The aft lavatory will be separated from the rest of the cabin by solid panel doors. In addition to a flushing toilet, it will be equipped with a vanity, a sink and a storage cabinet. External baggage areas are provided. A nose baggage compartment (approx. 9 ft3) will be located just forward of the forward pressure bulkhead, and an aft baggage compartment (approx. 57 ft3) will be located in the tailcone.
