  7. But how can a Designer help to solve a problem of logistics?…. … well the inspiration came from an old Chinese man who crossed my path one day, as I walked up towards the Great Wall …… …… and the message was simple. We have 2 ears, 2 eyes, a large brain, but only one mouth. Hence we have twice the capacity to listen, and keep listening. To look and evaluate, then a huge capacity to analyse this information, before finally speaking. The other important skill you need to ‘rediscover’, is one that as we grow into adulthood, we forget. A child will always ask ‘Why?’, which often is too difficult for us to bother to answer. But ‘Why?’ is a question you need to keep asking ….. ……. and then look deeper, listen & analyse those answers. There is often a far better way of doing something, even the simplest of tasks, which may have been never questioned before …… and as we move into more stringent times, maybe now is the time to ask those most difficult questions …..

  8. 20 years ago I designed this particular Flight Simulator. This is a $20 million training device which perfectly mimics a real aircraft, and so enables flight crew to be trained or upgraded to fly the real thing without any risk to the public or themselves

  9. SIMULATOR BUILD PROGRAM SEQUENCE MILESTONES PRE CONCEPT 90 Fit Unique Electrical system Fit Unique Visual system Fabricate Unique Exterior & Interior panelling Final Assembly Test APPROVE & Commission Strip down Demount Assemblies Ship Rebuild at Customers Facility Customer Sign Off & Final Payment Fabricate Aircraft Unique Base-frame CONCEPT 90 Produce Common Visual system CNC & Weld Common Frame Test APPROVE & Commission Strip down Demount Assemblies Ship Rebuild at Customers Facility Customer Sign Off & Final Payment Final Assembly Fit Unique Electrical system Manufacture Common Exterior & Interior panelling Concept 90 resulted in a reduction of several months from Time of Order, to delivery. But more significantly reduced the Manufacturing complexities at the Plant, allowing some Stock built parts to be Outsourced, and held prior to the receipt of a Customer’s Order.

  10. Even though we had simplified and commonised many of the individually hand crafted parts, and systemised the build sequence, before the Customer could finally approve the Craft .. Once it had been ’flown’ and approved, it then had to be taken apart again, to be shipped to the Customer’s Training facility. Where ever in the World that was .....

  11. and that was a very large problem.

  12. CONCEPT 90 was launched 18 years ago, and a lot has happened since then…… and the competition has caught up…… So, now it was time to take another bold step forward again…… BUT .... the Customers are now even more demanding. They now want it: BETTER CHEAPER HIGHER QUALITY & THEY WANT IT YESTERDAY !!!

  13. PROGRAM SEQUENCE MILESTONES PRE CONCEPT 90 Fit Unique Electrical system Fit Unique Visual system Fabricate Unique Exterior & Interior panelling Final Assembly Test APPROVE & Commission Strip down Demount Assemblies Ship Rebuild at Customers Facility Customer Sign Off & Final Payment Fabricate Aircraft Unique Base-frame CONCEPT 90 Produce Common Visual system CNC & Weld Common Frame Test APPROVE & Commission Strip down Demount Assemblies Ship Rebuild at Customers Facility Customer Sign Off & Final Payment Final Assembly Fit Unique Electrical system Manufacture Common Exterior & Interior panelling DESIGN for LOGISTICS Produce Common Visual system Manufacture Common Frame & Subframes Container based Shipping to the Customers Facility Assemble & Commission at the Customers Facility Customer Sign Off & Final Payment So this time we questioned the ’back end’ of the process, to see if that could be improved. The result was impressive .... Test Pre- Assemblies Fit out Aft Cabin & Electrical system Manufacture Common Exterior & Interior panelling

  14. IT’S NOT QUITE “YESTERDAY” ……. But it’s PFQ BETTER : by utilising suppliers with best practices and high tech capabilities, the product is lighter, more responsive and able to be interchangeable for different training and aircraft types CHEAPER : Reduced Lead Times, no need for assembly and reassembly costs, simpler shipping times and costs, etc etc HIGHER QUALITY : best use of modern materials and manufacturing methods, pre tested sub assemblies prior to Build, Improved Training enviroment and simpler maintenance requirements It also meant that the Factory space could be reduced significantly ... and the Customer did not have to spare their most experienced technical & overloaded flight staff to go to Commission the Simulator prior to delivery..... but it presented the Design Team with a considerable number of new challenges… Thinking ‘Outside the Box’ …. To fit into a Box…

  15. THE VISION FLYING WITHOUT LEAVING THE GROUND …..HOW TO CAPTURE THAT ENERGY

  16. …..THE STUDY OF THE MOVEMENT OF FLIGHT …..THE POWER, SPEED & AGILITY OF FLIGHT

  17. or, inspired by Sci – Fi, where characters are defined by their form and their ’Constructed Design’

  18. INSPIRATIONS …. … and Creative thinking …… the Design evolved ….. using bold character feature lines, which give the craft character and also work within the needs of the maximum panel sizes for container shipping. TO CREATE AN OBJECT OF GREAT BEAUTY, FUNCTIONALITY & UNIQUE PRACTICALITY
