Introduction
       This   section   is   intended   to   impart   a   sense   of   our   engineering,   process,   and   design   concepts to    the    customer    during    all    phases    of    SkyFreighter    product    development.     It    includes    a description    of    our    development    cycles,    our    Work    Breakdown    Structure    (WBS)    elements, identify   team   members   and   responsibilities,   top-level   customer   requirements   (A-Specs),   and Trade   Studies   to   be   performed   in   the   Design,   Test   &   Evaluation   (DT&E)   and   Full   Scale Engineering Development (FSED) phases (see below).
       The    definitive    customer    requirements    can    only    be    determined    in    concert    with    the negotiated   customer's   needs,   via   trade   studies   that   validate   feasibility,   cost,   and   technology issues under consideration. 
      Four   different   size   /   capability   SkyFreighter   Air   Vehicles   are   currently   in   the   concept development phase. 
Prototype Air Vehicle (~10 Ton lift capability)
Model  SF50T (~50 Ton lift capability)
Model SF500T (~500 Ton lift capability)
Major Program Key events
      MAS   has   broken   the   program   into   a   phased   approach   for   both   the   SF50T   and   the   SF500T.  Each   approach   has   its   own   set   of   program   milestones   and   decision   gates   on   how   to   proceed   to the next step. The three phases are broken out as follows:
Phase I   Design, Test and Evaluation (DT&E)
Phase II  Full Scale Engineering Development (FSED)
Phase III  Certification and Production
Phase IV  - Development of SF500T
Phase I  -  Design, Test & Evaluation (DT&E)
                During    this    development    period    two    major    elements    of    a    successful    program    will    be accomplished.    Initially    all    trade    and    feasibility    studies    will    define    our    final    engineering    to eventually   design   and   build   a   1/5   version   of   the   Model   SF50T   Prototype   Air   Vehicle   (PAV)   in Phase   II.   The   most   important   part   of   Phase   I   will   be   the   ITAMMS   test   bed   /   demonstration   model. ITAMMS is the key to make SkyFreighter product line a reality.
         The   PAV   will   be   developed   as   a   test   bed   for   all   current   and   future   technological   advancements and   systems   upgrades.   This   Prototype   Air   Vehicle   will   not   be   sold   but   remain   in   inventory   until   its useful   operational   life   cycle   has   been   obtained.   It   is   anticipated   that   this   Air   Vehicle   will   support the   emerging   needs   of   homeland   security   surveillance   activities   for   countries   such   as,   the   United States,   Kingdom   of   Saudi   Arabia   and   Chile.   All   costs   to   complete   final   production   drawings   for this   A/V   have   been   included   in   our   financial   projections   included   in   Section   IV.   Note   that   we   have not forecast any sales for this smaller, surveillance Air Vehicle at this time.

Decision to proceed with FSED
Phase II - Full Scale Engineering Development (FSED)
       During   this   phase,   MAS   will   build   and   test   the   1/5   scale   Prototype   Air   Vehicle   to   validate all   systems   and   engineering   design.    Engineering   drawings   and   systems   revisions   will   be made   during   this   phase   to   ensure   the   production   SkyFreighter   air   vehicles   perform   to   all technical    specifications.     We    anticipate    a    six    month    flight    test    program    to    validate    all systems.    In   addition,   land   will   be   secured   for   the   future   production   facility   as   well   as   initial site    preparation    and    facility    planning    functions    to    ensure    we    can    meet    our    production schedule outlined in Phase III.
Phase II  -  15 months
major milestones:
Early Start: Secure land for Plant One - production facility
Prepare production
Build production schedules
Complete PAV engineering drawings
Define FAA certification program
Manufacture 1/5 scale PAV

Execute Flight Test program to secure engineering data
Incorporate required change
Perform production facility and land studies
Preliminary Design Review (PDR) SF50T
Begin site preparation of production facility
Finalize design of production facility
Preliminary design of special tooling
Decision to proceed with Phase III
Begin FAA certification program
Phase III  -  Production
            Critical   Design   Review   will   be   accomplished   on   the   SF50T   as   well   as   final   production drawings.    Final   design   for   the   production   facility   is   being   finished   based   on   final   engineering design.    We   will   build   two   SF50T's   to   be   used   for   the   FAA   certification   process.    During   the   FAA certification   phase,   we   will   build   two   more   production   SF50T's   allowing   us   to   complete   sales   our four SF50T's completing Phase III.
