Aviation Industry Infographic
There are approximately 1.5 million people flying on planes at any given time. The world's busiest airport is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, which sees over 94 million passengers annually. An Airbus A380 double-decker is as long as eight buses and can park 70 cars on its wings.
Airplane
The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, were American inventors generally credited with building the world's first successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered and sustained flight on December 17, 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Over the next two years, they developed their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft. While not the first to experiment with aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent flight controls that allowed for mechanical flight of heavier-than-air machines.

The Wright Flyer: The Invention that Launched Modern Aviation
On December 17, 1903, two brothers from Dayton, Ohio achieved one of the greatest feats in human history - they flew the first successful airplane, the Wright Flyer. Orville and Wilbur Wright spent years experimenting with gliders and developing their theories of flight and aerodynamics before achieving powered, controlled flight near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In just 12 seconds, the Wright Flyer I flew 120 feet through the air, ushering in the era of aviation.
The Wright brothers were bicycle mechanics who became fascinated with the challenge of human flight in their shop. Through meticulous
History of aviation by ssk
- Aviation history began with myths of Daedalus and Icarus flying in Greek mythology, and kites being flown in China around 500 BC. Over centuries, various inventors experimented with balloons, gliders, and dirigibles in attempts to achieve human flight.
- In the early 1900s, the Wright Brothers succeeded in making the first sustained, controlled flights of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft. Their innovations led to rapid advances and the development of airplanes for transportation and war.
- During the 20th century, major advances included the jet engine and large commercial jetliners, allowing global air travel to flourish. Modern digital technologies including fly-by-wire systems have
Airplanes
The first successful air flight was in a hot air balloon invented in 1783. Early gliders were developed but were difficult to control and not motorized. The Wright Brothers made advances in glider design and were the first to build and fly a successful airplane with an engine and pilot in 1903, flying 120 feet over 12 seconds. Modern airplanes are divided into commercial, general aviation, military, sea planes, and special purpose types.

The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, made the first successful controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight on December 17, 1903 in North Carolina. An airplane, also known as an aeroplane, is a powered fixed-wing aircraft that is propelled forward by a jet engine or propeller to transport people and goods over long distances for both commercial and military uses. Most planes require a human pilot, but some can be controlled remotely or by computer.

An airplane, also known as an aeroplane, is a powered fixed-wing aircraft that is propelled forward by a jet engine or propeller. Airplanes come in various sizes and shapes and have a wide range of uses including transportation of people and goods, recreation, military purposes, and research. Most planes require a human pilot but some can be remotely or computer-controlled.
Evolution e.e
Aviation has its origins in prehistory when humans first imagined flying like birds. Over centuries, many pioneers attempted to build flying machines but it was not until the 1900s that the Wright brothers achieved the first successful powered flight. Since then, aviation has evolved rapidly with commercial flights beginning after World War 2 and modern aircraft like the Boeing 777 designed entirely using computer technology. Today there are over 4,000 planes in the air every hour, demonstrating how aviation has transformed global transport and become the safest mode of travel.

The Value of New-Technology Single-Aisles
Given the precipitous drop in oil prices, the value of new-technology aircraft has been questioned, but is this warranted? New-technology aircraft create revenue opportunities and reduce operating costs, enabling airlines to build competitive moats that support sustainable business models. Airlines with less fortunate geography will now be able to improve their economic geography by operating routes not previously possible. Not all airlines value fuel efficiency the same. The trade off between increased ownership cost and fuel savings is dependent on utilization.
To better understand which types of airlines value new-technology, we analyzed the forecasted share of single-aisle deliveries from 2016 to 2019. New-technology aircraft account for two-thirds of high-growth, high-utilization airlines' deliveries, demonstrating that the business case for these types closes at any fuel price if the operator flies enough. During this decade's technology transition, a variety of options will permit airlines to acquire the right tools to meet their needs. Lessors will play a key role, providing access to OEM's overbooked skylines and transitioning used aircraft between operators. While the price paid for the new-technology will be crucial to continued competitiveness, the timing of the adoption may be more so.

CIT Commercial Real Estate Outlook
Commercial real estate executives appear relatively optimistic about the general state of the market in 2016, with many predicting higher than average deal volumes for their firms. When considering the adoption of new technology, most believe that the influx of commercial real estate tech companies is revolutionizing the industry. These executives recognize that while the U.S. commercial real estate market is recovering, there are still certain segments that are poised for significant decline.
CIT Healthcare Industry Outlook
Healthcare executives maintain a relatively positive outlook for the upcoming year. The majority remain optimistic, expecting similar growth to last year in revenue, prices, volume and capital spending. Many other non-financial trends within the industry are also seen as having a beneficial impact on consumers and the quality of care being delivered.
For one, trends around Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) are increasing from last year, with a general optimism about the impact, especially on the industry side, for efficiency and revenue. About three-quarters of executives also believe that increased M&A may result in a greater focus on care (over business administration.)
Second, most executives anticipate a continued--and increasing--reliance on technology that should improve quality and reduce costs. But with higher stakes, the challenge will be how to seamlessly incorporate technology industry-wide without compromising security.
Despite the optimistic tone, however, healthcare costs continue to be an untenable uphill battle for consumers, with no improvement over last year. Executives perceive that these overwhelming costs are damaging care and that many consumers may be sacrificing care to save money. Many executives claim they are working to figure out ways to alleviate this problem. In addition, executives are more open to government involvement with regulating the industry, but there is very little consensus on how to measure success and utilize outcomes.

Fueling Your Company’s Growth
Many mid-sized companies are still struggling with growth after the recession. Finance executives recognize the need to increase investment across areas like technology, facilities, staffing, and marketing to fuel growth. However, over half of executives say their companies are not doing any better than a year ago. To support this increased investment, many companies will need to seek funding from commercial lenders beyond their own operating cash flows and reserves. The document suggests that lenders can help these mid-sized clients by understanding their unique business challenges, providing customized funding solutions, and assisting with regulatory requirements to help companies achieve their growth ambitions.
