Market analysis for small and mid-size commercial turboprop aircraft

Fly-over noise measurements and simulation for a turboprop aircraft

The study of aircraft noise started in earnest in the 1960s, however, the validation of comprehensive noise models for existing commercial aircraft using well-defined experimental data have since produced modest advances. Considerable focus appears to have been placed on aircraft conceptual design, with relatively little effort considering aircraft currently in use, for which we believe there i...

Vibration Data Analysis for a Commercial Aircraft

Using data from extensive vibrational tests of the new aircraft Saab 2000 a combined method for vibration analysis is studied. The method is based on a realization algorithm followed by standard prediction error methods (PEM). We nd that the realization algorithm gives good initial model parameter estimates that can be further improved by the use of PEM. We use the method to get insights into t...

A Dynamic Analysis of the Market for Wide-Bodied Commercial Aircraft

This paper uses an empirical dynamic oligopoly model of the commercial aircraft industry to analyse industry pricing, industry performance, and optimal industry policy. A novel feature of the model with respect to the previous literature is that entry, exit, prices, and quantities are endogenously determined in Markov perfect equilibrium (MPE). We find that many unusual aspects of the aircraft ...

Slow Market Adjustment to Tax Changes: Evidence from the Market for Used Wide-body Commercial Aircraft

Investment tax credits are generally implemented to stimulate investment in new goods. However, in the case of durable goods, such policies may also affect secondary markets for used goods. Using a simple theoretical model, I show that an exogenous shock to the price of new durable goods (e.g., a change in tax policy) causes an increase in price and a decrease in the number of transactions in u...
