Factors Affecting the Growth of the General Aviation Industry:

• Electric & Hybrid Propulsion:

The general aviation market is undergoing a seismic shift to electric and hybrid propulsion systems due to increasing environmental concerns, as well as enhancements to technology. We have been particularly active in the electric propulsion realm because we are focusing on decreasing emissions as well as urban noise pollution. The hybrid and electric aircraft platform will enable operations with fewer emissions and reduce noise. Improvements in electric motors, hybrid systems, and batteries will help manufacturers create viable electric and hybrid aircraft. Both governments and regulation are facilitating the development and use of these electric and hybrid technologies. Furthermore, the new UAM and AAM concepts and evolving technologies have increased interest in electric and hybrid aircraft. Research into electric and hybrid propulsion has created a basis for not only improved sustainability, but an opportunity for new aircraft to be built and also develop operations models.

• Digital Cockpit Integration:

Today, general aviation is experiencing a significant shift towards fully integrated cockpit digital solutions as a means to maximize safety and operational efficiency while maintaining situational awareness and operational functionality at all phases of flight. The needs of the avionics market have also changed, and digital avionics technologies are continually evolving. Modern avionics systems and glass cockpit instruments, and FMS and EFB have emerged in the market. The greatest advantage digital cockpit systems bring to aviators is real-time access to current data, real-time enhanced navigation systems, and, with automated decision tooling, the ability to best leverage that information when making critical flight decisions. Connectivity (which includes instrumentation focused on mobile access via wifi, as well as institutional communications) is fueled by adaptive technologies that help reduce potential cessations in functions. Airlines want to reduce weather-conditions-and-situational awareness "lessons-learned"; synthetic vision systems whose functionality overlaps with augmented vision systems are one of many potential tools that can converge on improved situational awareness. The rise of natural control systems studies has aided the development of modern cockpit designs that create thicker categories of value for pilots when operating the demands placed upon them. Digital cockpit integration provides both safety and efficiency capabilities while typically creating enjoyable, predictable avognitive impacts of comfort.

• Advanced Materials Adoption

The general aviation market is constantly developing and using new advanced materials since it wants aircraft to reduce operational costs, become more efficient, be more durable and exceed performance standards. For manufacturers, lighter weight and strength are derived from these advanced materials also including carbon fiber composites, titanium alloys, and advanced aluminum alloys. With lighter and stronger materials, the industry is able to produce aircrafts that are aerodynamically efficient, lower operational costs, and have greater structural reliability. The oil and gas industry has an advantage over general aviation aircraft by utilizing advanced manufacturing methods such as 3D printing, additive and subtractive manufacturing, automated fiber placement, etc. to design and produce the most efficient aircraft part and system limitations based on a fuel scarcity. Newer aircraft may include smart materials and auxiliary components, such as sensors for performance monitoring, diagnostics monitoring, and ultimately provide those capabilities to the aviator. Using advanced materials for monitoring performance and diagnostics can help with aircraft operation and the possibility of developing new types of aircraft designs.
