A critical barrier for GA to serve as viable and volume personal transportation is the lack of a cost-effective, yet open-growth, Lean DesignO and manufacturing methodology for installing emergent technologies in existing airplanes as well as for producing new small airplanes. Munro & Associate?s (Munro?s) vision is to create an innovative , Lean DesignO integration system to select, source, adapt and install 21st century automotive industry consumer comfort technologies - SATS-LDATT, this will serve as a vital enabler for turning NASA's SATS Lab Vision into reality. Munro will use its automotive industry technology transfer expertise to first create an automotive technology evaluation process in conjunction with its design team POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS Commercial applications include full cockpit and cabin installations in new as well as the 100,000 plus travel active existing small airplanes in the country. Spin offs include software applications for custom designs.
