Breecuda - low cost performance 

Many governments around the world are traditionally reluctant to invest in high speed transport, despite substantial economic benefits, due to the high cost of establishing services.

Railways redefined life for people by opening up new places, new frontiers by making it easy to travel. The TC Breecuda takes this to a new level, designed to augment rail networks that are under increasing pressure from overcrowding. By reducing Inter-city service needs, there is more room on railway lines and inside trains, and for timetables for localised commuter services and freight trains.

With the Breecuda transportation system, only connecting terminals need be built, aircraft bought and airways planning conducted to start services. Aircraft speed and efficiency reduces journey time and cost. Top speed of 400 knots is attainable in a very short time – controlled to be comfortable by computer. The TC will require little maintenance in comparison to trains and railway systems.

Breecuda offers high levels of safety and systems redundancy: it is able to cope with multiple engine failure. Both TC aircraft will use improved versions of existing, proven engines and will be extremely quiet due to design features shielding engine noise in both level flight and VTOL modes: active noise reduction is also envisaged. TC will operate at low levels away from commercial jet routes, between 500 and 5000 feet. Power plants are optimized for this cruising altitude, providing better economy, efficiency and output.

Breecuda is the world’s cheapest high speed transport system available, to build, integrate and operate. It is easy to build into cities or any system; it is reliable with simple maintenance and very cost effective. Commuter aircraft allows low ticket prices giving everybody access to high-speed transport – the fastest transit times of any short-medium range transport less than 250 nautical miles, or 300 statue miles.

The aircraft have very low pollution and are designed to be extremely safe, with multiple redundancies. The TC does not require complex systems or planning and can operate to factories or mines in remote areas, taking people from populated areas to the site in less time than it would take to commute across a city.

Industry need for skilled and unskilled workers is growing, in and away from population centres, with more commuting taking place. Present systems, road and rail are stretched to breaking point. The Breecuda is available in either jet fuel or exceptionally clean burning hydrogen powered versions reducing smog. Employment problems in outer suburbs are resolved by introducing high-speed transport to enable access to the jobs in the CBD, and creating incentive for industry to build in outer locations away from cities.

Workers are vital for industry. Factories have been driven away from population centres and transport networks. The result is less access to cheap workers, particularly younger people and those with little income; traditional factory employees generally without cars – even in wealthy countries. As a result companies must use higher wages to attract earners with their own transport affecting profit margins as well as productivity if employees remain difficult to attract.

The time it takes to travel directly effects the productivity of the workers: a person commuting for an hour has become fatigued and less attentive. Such a transport system eases population pressure in urban areas by taking away the need to live close to the CBD to find work. Workers can get up later in the morning and arrive home earlier at night.

The ability to make later departures also reduces noise early in the mornings when conventional transport systems must depart. Each passenger will have more time with their families or friends, further education or work other interests with this transport system in place. Fresher workers mean better quality and production at faster rates, reducing costs to business.
