Type of Business
Space Exploration Corporation manufactures small plane engines and
lightweight airplanes, available as either kits or ready-built planes.
S.E.C. is dedicated to finding ways to build a better, faster, and
cheaper small airplane for public and/or military use.
The SIC codes 3721 (aircraft) and 3724 (aircraft engines and parts) apply to this industry. This business plan will forecast the next three business years.
Business Summary
After studying all
the aircraft kits available on the market, we discovered that most of them were
taking an average of ten (10) years to complete and at an extremely high cost.
When Loadmaster
was in development, Space Exploration Corporation decided to adopt some basics
that are now our standards:
1.
The Loadmaster can be put together in 2000 hours, making it the fastest
assembly kit on the market in its category
2.
Everything necessary to complete a flying airplane can be ordered with
the
kit, including tools, engine, propeller, instruments, etc.
3
The entire manual is fully illustrated with pictures and drawings,
providing
easy-to-understand
instructions for persons from any nationality.
4
The plane is constructed using all metal parts, which are visibly marked,
cut and finished, leaving the builder to only assemble the plane
5
The fasten construction kit is complete, featuring pre-drilled holes
ready to be riveted
6
Most of light aircraft uses a piston engine designed in the 1940’s.
They are fuel thirsty, obsolete, and expensive. S.E.C. and the Loadmaster uses a
modern engines, developed specially for the Loadmaster
7
After researching and testing, we developed and tested the SXE-3000. An
extremely light and compact turboprop jet engine
8
It is a self-contained jet engine with 300 HP and capable of using a
large variety of fuels. Most of this fuel has half of the cost of the
gasoline used by regular engines
9
Also, we developed a new kerosene piston engine that also powers the
Loadmaster and can be ordered from 250 HP to 450 HP each.
Products & Services
SPACE EXPLORATION CORPORATION builds three high-performance engines, the
300, 450, and 650HP that can be used in the assembly of the Loadmaster. One of
these engines is the SXE-3000 turboprop jet engine, which produces 300HP at a
phenomenal maximum 65,000 RPM! For comparison’s sake, a typical small piston
engine has a maximum of 4,100 RPM. The SXE-3000 jet engine is 15 times more
powerful than comparable piston engines!
SPACE EXPLORATION CORPORATION also uses the new piston engine with 250 up
to 450HP
Business History
Space Exploration Corporation project took root in early 1998 when our
burning passion to create a better, faster, and affordable plane than anything
else already on the market. We had the foresight and vision to see the
importance of a bridging the gap between different types of airplanes. As
intelligent entrepreneurs, we saw the opportunities that existed to grow and
capitalize this new market, and after careful and thorough research, we decided
to develop and design a new plane and engine for this enormous market.
Preliminary market data shows the small aircraft market to be in
the trillions of dollars. SPACE EXPLORATION CORPORATION seeks to obtain 1% or
more of that market.
Legal Structure & Ownership
Space Exploration Corporation is a Florida Corporation founded in July 1998
Company Location & Facilities
SPACE EXPLORATION CORPORATION company headquarters and manufacturing
facility is located at Deerfield Beach, Florida. With an expected growth at full
production we have our sights on an even larger facility with another Florida
Airport Authority. As we achieve our expansion goals, mentioned Airport
Authority has agreed to build a larger facility to house our operation.
Industry Analysis
The kit plane industry is divided in two parts:
1.
high performance
2.
low
performance
The low performance kit planes generally are airplanes with cruise speeds
below 100 miles per hour, with shorter construction time and lower cost.
The high performance kit planes are expensive airplanes, with long
delivery times (minimum of six months). It takes on the average of 10 years to
assemble a high performance kit.
SPACE EXPLORATION CORPORATION designed the LOADMASTER with the best of both worlds. Our kit can be
assembled in 2000 hours, in a small space, with no necessary shortcuts. All the
parts are already manufactured, labeled, wrapped and are clearly marked to
facilitate drilling.
The Loadmaster has a performance not found in any other airplane with the
same power. It can reach up to 3,200 miles (1,200 standard) with the extended
tanks, can cruise 175 miles per hour (turbo - short wing) and go from Florida to
New York in less than 6 hours on $350.00 worth of fuel carrying up to 15 people
plus luggage.
Another highlight of SPACE EXPLORATION CORPORATION is that the
LOADMASTER, is a versatile aircraft that can easily be any of the following:
·
Flying Motor home
·
Military aircraft
·
Light cargo plane (3,500 lb cargo)
·
Rescue / Ambulance aircraft
·
Flying bus (up to 14 passengers
plus crew)
·
Flying refrigerator (cold
transport). Capable of up to 21 hours endurance at 170 miles/hour.
Another
interesting fact is that SPACE EXPLORATION CORPORATION also develops their own
engines, from 250 hp piston all the way to 1200 hp turboprop engine.
Target Markets
The Loadmaster can be used for transport as an executive airplane or
for a weekend getaway. Therefore, the target market is small business owners as
well as young, rising professional couples wanting a quick retreat.
As the Loadmaster does not need to be in a hangar since the wings
are removable and can be fitted in a trailer, it opens many more doors to
ownership for more people, as storage is not an issue. Also, the empty plane
only weighs 2300 pounds!
We
are targeting both the “experimental” enthusiast market and the military
market for our plane and engine. These
markets encompass not only America but the global markets as well.
