The Butterfly Aircraft LLC is a retail company of kit parts for small, personal aircraft kits for easy final assembly by the customer. Each kit comes with every part necessary, detailed instructions (approximately 100-300 hours required) and factory support. As SATS moves into full implementation, it is believed completed aircraft will be licensed for sale. The FAA is certainly involved in the SATS process. To date, final assembly by the customer is required for liability reasons. We will sell the Kits and the Parts for the following models:

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan

The Emperor Butterfly

Welcome to The Emperor Butterfly gyroplane. This vehicle is "The seed to the rain forest ". The Butterfly airframe is the beginning of a new wave of transportation for the modern world. The Butterfly starts out as a small single place vehicle that easily transforms into other models with bolt on modifications that will be discussed later. It is so small it easily fits into a trailer or the back of a standard sized pickup truck. The Emperor Butterfly is a Personal Air Vehicle . This Gyroplane easily stores in your home garage and uses normal automotive gasoline in a two-cycle engine. Less than 100 hours are needed to assemble the kit that comes complete. Maximum speed is 63 miles per hour. It needs approximately 500 feet to take off and 3 to 5 feet for landing.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan


Safety is the primary reason for the design of The Butterfly. Engine-out situations mean you float to earth like a parachute, since the blades (wings) are always auto-rotating. The Butterfly is not a helicopter. Training to fly The Butterfly is typically 10-hours with a flight instructor. A detailed instruction manual is provided and upgrade parts are available after the sale.

The Monarch Butterfly

The Monarch is a high performance gyroplane. This model will fit into the Experimental class. The Monarch has basically a Butterfly airframe with bolt on modifications which include: (1) A larger Rotax engine with 66 hp. (2) The Metro Launch System (optional) pre rotator gives The Monarch a shorter ground roll on takeoff. (3) The new patented "G Force Landing Gear" is available for this model. This GFLG has been tested to over 500 ft/minute vertical descent all the way to the ground without damage to the airframe or harm to the pilot. (This machine was on display in the NASA Tent at Sun & Fun 2004 in Lakeland Florida.) Other bolt on items are: (1) Metro Launch System (a strong pre rotator). (2) G-Force Landing Gear.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan

The Aurora Butterfly

The Aurora Butterfly is a Rotax 912S powered gyroplane. It comes standard with the G-Force Magnum All Terrain landing gear and the new 912 Metro Launch System. This unit leaves the ground in 3 to 5 seconds and climbs at over 1,000 ft/minute. It can carry up to 20 gallons of fuel (reserve fuel tanks optional) and can be used on large ranches, for thousands of other applications, or just for fun. Valorie White, our Executive Vice President, is seated in the Aurora and will be showing off all of our new products around the world.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan

The Super Sky Cycle prototype was at SunN Fun 2006 in Lakeland Florida at The Butterfly LLC display at Chopper town and was on display at the Flying Car Forum held by Larry Neal on Friday, April 7th.

The Super Sky Cycle Prototype

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan

This picture was taken in early 2006 when the WFAA Channel 8 News was shooting a news story on the prototype Flying Motorcycle. The rotor folds from 2610 in flight mode to 13 4 in drive m ode. The rear wheels pull you down the road as a legal 3 wheeled (trike) motorcycle. After taking it to Sun & Fun and Oshkosh with the 66 hp 2 stroke engine a 100 hp airplane motor and separate drive engine was added. The request from the crowds was to have the dependability of a four stroke flight engine if the machine was to be used for extensive cross country flights. We have learned to listen to our customers and the new production Super Sky Cycle was born.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan

This is the production Super Sky Cycle being shown by Valorie White. The Super Sky Cycle kit comes standard with the Rotax 912ULS 4 cylinder, 4 stroke 100 hp Aircraft Engine. It can also be upgraded to the Rotax turbocharged 115 hp Aircraft Engine. The Super Sky Cycle has a separate small engine (not the flying engine) that drives the rear wheels down the road and is operated using the handle bars just like other motorcycles and allows the SSC to drive down the road as a legal three wheeled motorcycle. Now the Super Sky Cycle can fit in your garage (clears an 8 garage door header), drive down the road, and fly through the air. A unique feature is that this one flies and drives. A major problem in air transportation is ground transportation. Flying to an airport to find there is no way to get to an appointment or home, causes people to forget flying, opting for traffic jams and lost time. The SUPER SKY CYCLE lands virtually anywhere, even at an airport, and drives home or to an appointment, where it is easily parked in a garage or normal parking space. This aircraft routinely lands with the engine at idle, with no ground roll, and descends slower than a parachute. Legally, this vehicle is a motorcycle, with three wheels on the ground. In fact, it is licensed as a motorcycle.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan


The Golden Butterfly

The Golden Butterfly is a Subaru powered 2.5 liter engine with190 HP two place trainer developed especially to train people how to fly the Emperor, Monarch, Aurora, Super Sky Cycle, and Golden Butterfly. It includes the patented G Force Landing Gear, Low Rider folding mast, vibration dampeners, and electric pre rotator as standard equipment. The Golden Butterfly won the Outstanding New Design award at Airventure 2004 held at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. A 305 hp Turbocharged Golden Butterfly (pictured above) is also available. These machines can be used for training, drug intervention, border patrol, cargo haulers, crop dusting, or 1000 other uses around the world.

Target Market Segment Strategy


Why the Gyroplane?

"Gyroplane " is an official term designated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) describing an aircraft that gets lift from a freely turning rotary wing (rotor blades), and which derives its thrust from an enginedriven propeller. Historically, this type of aircraft has been known as the autogiro and the gyrocopter. The early names and variants were filed as trademarks. Gyroplanes derive lift from freely turning rotor blades tilted back to catch the air. The rushing air spins the rotor as the aircraft is pushed by an enginedriven propeller. Early gyroplanes were powered by engines in a tractor (pulling) configuration and were relatively heavy. Modern gyroplanes use a pusher propeller and are light and maneuverable. With the engine in the rear, the gyroplane has unobstructed visibility. A Gyroplane can fly more slowly than airplanes and will not stall. They can fly as fast as helicopters but cannot hover. Since the rotor blades on the gyroplane are turned only by the air (autorotation), much like a windmill, there is no need for a tail rotor for anti-torque. The gyroplane is a stable flying platform. This is not so with helicopters, which pull the air down through engine-powered rotor blades making it possible to hover, but also making the aircraft very complicated and expensive to fly. Due to their inherent simplicity, gyroplanes are easier to operate and less expensive to maintain than helicopters. Gyroplanes in flight are always in autorotation. If power fails in a gyroplane the autorotation continues, and the aircraft can settle softly to the ground from any altitude. The procedure to land after a power failure is the same procedure as a normal landing, which requires no landing roll. Thus the gyroplane is a safer aircraft for low and slow flight, as compared with both

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan


helicopters and airplanes. The ability of gyroplanes to fly as fast as helicopters and slower than airplanes makes it something of a hybrid, having the good qualities of the other two types of aircraft with little of the bad. The single attraction of helicopters over gyroplanes is their ability to hover, which is necessary in some situations such as rescue or in sling load work. In air surveillance and point-to-point flying, not being able to hover is not a disadvantage because many gyroplanes take off and land in a short distance without having to hover. Helicopters at low altitude out of ground effect avoid hovering whenever possible. It is too dangerous. To fix surveillance on one spot, proper procedure for all rotorcraft is to circle in a slow orbit or have the ability for slow flight into the wind.

4.3.

Industry Analysis

SATS is a navigation system that moves control of air traffic from the ground to the cockpit, using computers and other aids to make the Highway in the Sky, such as those sold by Chelton Flight Systems.

NASA's Transportation System Analysis and Assessment Working Group, the National Coalition for Air Mobility (NCAM) and NASA's Personal Air Vehicle

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan


(PAV) research. The result is a system that has captured the interest of investors in Air-Taxi Services and PAV manufactures. To date, more than $3Billion is behind the Air Taxi version of SATS (as per Dr. Bruce Holmes) and one thousand companies intend to be involved. Radical changes are in the near future for aviation. NASA is creating the Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS), and publicly demonstrated the system in 2005 in several cities. SATS is increasing the demand for Personal Air Vehicles (PAV's) already. NASA, the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration, industry stakeholders, and academia have joined forces to pursue the NASA National General Aviation Roadmap leading to a Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS). Another system has just been introduced by Stratomaster called the Enigma, which is scheduled for testing by our company in one of our vehicles. SATS is not an option but a sound solutio n. As our transportation slows, so does our economy. The people movers of the near future must provide door-to-door (or nearly) capabilities that are not subject to traffic jams, wasted time and national resources. The companies that provide the answers will share in a Trillion-Dollar transportation prize. The SUPER SKY CYCLE is the ideal PAV (Personal Air Vehicle). Dr. Bruce Holmes, the godfather of SATS told a packed house in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, "We need a SATS vehicle that is affordable. The general public will not spend three-quarters of a million on an aircraft." The Super Sky Cycle is an aircraft (PAV) with the performance that fits into SATS that sells for the price of a luxury car.

4.3.1.

Competition and Buying Patterns

While connected to gyropla ne history, TBALLC is not focusing on the established industry. To report on aircraft makers not going for the same market is not being true to the intent of this plan. Selling to the ultralight aircraft market is not in our plan, but if these sales are requested from sport or ultralight flyers, we will not refuse the business. Growth for the SATS-related aircraft industry is dramatic. Dr. Paul Moller estimates sales to top $1-Trillion. Even if Dr. Moller is overly optimistic , and the real number is one-fourth of that, we still have a huge potential. (www.moller.com)

5. Strategy and Implementation Summary


Our marketing strategy is to showcase the Butterfly Series at Air Shows, personal sales efforts, and advertising on the world wide web. Our Dealers are allowed to do the same.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan 5.1. Competitive Edge

The Butterfly Aircraft LLC is in an interesting position with use of the FlyDrive Vehicle Patent secured. The existing business aircraft market fills only a small niche in SATS yet the SSCs can have a significant impact on the business aircraft market as SATS comes to maturity. Immediate use of the SSC in business will happen, still timing of this design and SATS couldn't be better. While the market share is nonexistent at this point, no other aircraft is being prepared like TBALLCs products for both SATS and business markets.

Attention to TBALLC is growing also. Oklahoma's Governor Brad Henry was introduced to The Monarch Butterfly at the university in Weatherford Oklahoma in 2003.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan

Joe Tilton and Richard Sabia introduced Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry to The Monarch Butterfly at Southwestern University .

And it all started with the lowly Butterfly, "The seed to the rain forest". This seed has grown into the Super Sky Cycle flying motorcycle .

5.2 Marketing Strategy

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan


To support the marketing initiatives and product knowledge, The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs dealers may attend as many aircraft shows, motorcycle shows, and other events as possible to ensure the public has the most up-to-date information on our products. The following photographs are an impressive array of images of the acceptance by the public of The Butterfly and its abilities. This represents an example of the effectiveness of marketing at air shows.

Larry demonstrated the Stop and Drop capability of the G Force Landing Gear Tuesday and Sunday in the Showcase at Airventure 2004. (Pictured below) Discovery Wings is installing a lipstick camera and filmed the landings on Sunday.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan

The Monarch was the only Gyroplane at the 100 year Anniversary of the Wright Brothers Centennial of flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina in December of 2003 and was allowed to circle the monument three times on the anniversary fly by date.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan

The crowd really enjoyed seeing The Butterfly at the 2003 Extreme Air Show in Oklahoma City.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan

The Monarch Butterfly was on display in the NASA tent at Sun & Fun 2004 along with a display for Personal Air Vehicles. The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs G Force Landing Gear was featured as a high tech device and displayed under a banner that read Safer By Design.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan

The Monarch Butterfly flew Stop and Drop demonstrations flights, showing off the new G Force Landing Gear, for the news media and public on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at Chopper Town during Sun & Fun 2004. Larry Neal flew the craft in at times with the engine turned off, flared at about 15 high, and then, settled to the ground vertically as the landing gear absorbed over 700/minute vertical descents. One person in the crowd that didnt understand what was going on yelled crash but then was amazed as the gyroplane took off again to repeat the demonstration. The patented G Force Landing Gear is a

quantum leap in landing gear

technology for gyroplanes. This gear will allow safer landings in case a pilot flares too high or has an engine out close to the ground. This safety feature alone sets the Monarch gyroplane in a whole different class by itself. No other gyroplane that we know of has the capability to drop in from altitude as this one can with this new gear design. This landing gear has changed the safety of Gyroplanes forever.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan

The flight demonstrations of the Monarch Butterfly were one of the highlights of the 2003 and 2004 SATS Expo held in Weatherford, Oklahoma. Astronaut General Thomas P. Stafford and Dr. Bruce Holmes (the father of SATS) were among the onlookers. When Dr. Holmes first saw the Butterfly lift off he spoke these prophetic words to Joe Tilton: Thats the way we need to go to work.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan

The new production Super Sky Cycle was on display at Airventure 09. Larry drove the SSC to the Road-able Aircraft Forum on Friday night. It was the only Fly-drive Vehicle that attended the event.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan

The SSC won 2nd place in the Most Unusual Class at The Rats Hole Custom Bike Show. The SSC was also a hit on main street and was possibly the most photographed single bike at the Sturgis 69th Annual Bike Rally in South Dakota. The Bikers loved the SSC.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan Sales Strategy


Time frames for growth begin when the first components are ordered for sales, and marketing strategies are in place. The first stage includes facility expansion set-up and parts ordered. Where needed, additional staff will be hired and supplier contracts let. The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Dealers will have the SUPER SKY CYCLE and our other gyroplane products at many air shows and motorcycle events, showing them as the new generation of transportation. As the auto industry sets trends in automobiles, so will TBALLC set design trends with the SUPER SKY CYCLE. The motorcycle community will be a major market for the SUPER SKY CYCLE. The new rage will be the Space Age Motorcycle that fly's. A clever billboard advertisement will read: The Super Sky Cycle, a motorcycle with Altitude." 5.3 Sales Forecast Have thousands of single seat (Butterfly/Monarch/Aurora/Super Sky Cycle) kits built, Test technology in cooperation with NASA, Show the public the advantages of traveling over traffic jams rather than sit in them. Our Dealers can establish training sites and contacts with Certificated Flight Instructors using the Golden Butterfly trainer, Establish a recognized base-line test bed for alternate technology and fuels, Establish a powerful Research and Development group to pace demand and technology.

The Butterfly Aircraft LLCs Business Plan

5.4 Personalized Marketing Strategy Our basic marketing strategy is to work with our dealers and customers on a one-to-one basis to ensure their supply needs are being met. We intend to prioritize customer service and make it a key component of our marketing programs. We believe that providing our customers with what they want, when and how they want it, is the key to repeat business and positive word-of-mouth advertising. We will closely integrate all of our marketing and sales efforts to project a consistent image of our company and a consistent positioning of our products and services. To support our marketing initiatives and product knowledge, we will encourage Dealers to attend as many area aircraft and motorcycle shows as possible to ensure we are offering the most up-to-date market trend information.
