Appendix A AN EXAMINATION OF THE TIME OF ARRIVAL METRIC In several previous RAND reports1 on aircraft engine production and development costs, the authors employed a measure of technical maturity called the delta time of arrival (delta TOA). This metric is the difference between the predicted TOA and actual TOA (see Chapter Five). The predicted TOA is the forecast date that a particu- lar engine model should enter low-rate production (or it is the MQT) based on the engine’s technical characteristics. More technically ad- vanced engines have a later TOA than less advanced ones. Therefore, a positive delta TOA would mean that an engine was produced sooner than was forecast; thus, the engine has a higher degree of technical risk. In this appendix, we discuss in detail an updated TOA metric and the use of delta TOA as a measure of aircraft engine technical advancement.2 UPDATING THE TOA METRIC Based on our expanded sample of aircraft engines (compared with prior RAND studies), we reestimated the CER for TOA. The updated regression output (using the original formulation but including ad- ditional data), which includes both turbojet and turbofan engines, is shown in Table A.1. ______________ 1See Large (1970); Anderson and Nelson (1972); Nelson and Timson (1974); Nelson (1977); and Birkler, Garfinkle, and Marks (1982). 2The discussion in this appendix assumes some knowledge of statistics on the part of the reader. For those without a statistics background, we can recommend the follow- ing basic texts: Berenson and Levine (1996) and Stata Reference Manual (1999). 87

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
