Harness model-based cost engineering to predict total lifecycle costs for advanced air mobility

Since the concepts of vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) and advanced air mobility (AAM) began, PRICE Cost Analytics™ has been an integral part of uniting the eVTOL aircraft innovators and AAM service providers. They are quickly and accurately predicting total lifecycle costs for this fast-emerging industry — down to the electronic components and infrastructure.

Simple solutions to learn, easy to adopt

PRICE Cost Analytics™ uses a unique Model-Based Cost Engineering (MBCE) technology to systematically harness your historical data and expertise for enterprise-wide process integration. Coupled with our team of eVTOL/AAM experts, customers gain the ability to design for cost per flight hour and optimize cost per passenger mile — while balancing performance factors like safety, noise, reliability, durability and maintainability of the aircraft. This predictive power is helping to make the concept of flying to work or sharing an air taxi a reality, soon.

Lifecycle Economics: eVTOL Air Taxi Service

PRICE®, in cooperation with Georgia Tech and Jaunt Air Mobility presented findings of an economic analysis of the eVTOL Air Taxi Markets at the Vertical Flight Society Forum. The Study focuses on the U.S. Northeast Region. It presents a predictive analytic approach that accounts for the performance of eVTOL aircraft, takeoff and landing infrastructure (vertiports), and the demand for ridership given a ticket price and time saved.

The Future of AAM and PRICE®

We are establishing lifecycle cost models for early eVTOL concepts; evaluating TOC of vehicle and infrastructure for AAM operation developing cost modeling strategies for AAM supply chains; establishing technology valuation frameworks for AAM market feasibility; defining strategies to estimate future battery costs; and mentoring graduate students to evaluate future concepts.
