Therefore, the present study entitled determinants of competitiveness of tourist destinations applied to regional routes: an evaluation of the Route of Serid?/RN, discusses the issue of competitiveness in tourism and tries to understand the scenery of this Route. The main objective of the study is to assess the conditions of competitiveness in the Route of Serid?/RN according to benchmarks and global determinants of competitiveness for tourist destinations. The study has also as specifics objectives: define dimensions of the reference model for use in evaluating the competitiveness of the Route of Serid?/RN; identify levels of governance and competitiveness in the municipalities that make up the sample set above the Route, and analyze to what extent the competitiveness of the Route correspond to the global reference of competitiveness of tourism destinations. Regarding the methodology, it is a search for an exploratory- descriptive and used a combination of quantitative and qualitative research method as expected and required in the implementation of the evaluation tool called Compet&enible Model. For data collection, it has been taken technical visits and also analysis of documents and materials. Data analysis was based on the records and documents and the use of simple descriptive statistics for the scores of the elements offered by Compet&enible Model. The results allowed us to know the real conditions of competitiveness of the Serid?/RN Route forward to the attributes of tourist destinations for global competitiveness: the dimension I, Governance, reached 17 points, classified as "in structuring" and dimension II, Competitiveness, reached 10 points, ranking "weak". These results highlight the need for greater involvement of the actors in the supply chain of tourism in Polo Serid?/RN for the actions, programs and projects are put into practice. It is expected that tourism is considered an important activity for the local and global development, serving as a reference for the future management of Serid?/RN Route, guiding new policy guidelines, planning and organization to better competitiveness / A atividade tur?stica vem ganhando representatividade por movimentar e estimular a economia, sobretudo, por possibilitar a gera??o de emprego e renda, permitindo, assim, oportunidades de crescimento para as localidades onde o turismo se desenvolve. Diante disso, o presente estudo intitulado Determinantes de competitividade de destinos tur?sticos aplicados aos roteiros regionais: uma avalia??o do Roteiro Serid?/RN, aborda a tem?tica da competitividade no turismo e tenta compreender o cen?rio deste roteiro. O objetivo central do estudo ? avaliar as condi??es da competitividade tur?stica no Roteiro Serid?/RN, de acordo com referenciais e determinantes globais de competitividade para destinos tur?sticos, tendo como objetivos espec?ficos: delimitar dimens?es do modelo de refer?ncia para utiliza??o na avalia??o de competitividade do Roteiro Serid?/RN; identificar os n?veis de governan?a e competitividade nos munic?pios definidos na amostra que comp?em o referido Roteiro; e analisar em que medida as condi??es de competitividade do Roteiro correspondem aos referenciais globais de competitividade de destinos tur?sticos. Quanto ? metodologia, trata-se de uma pesquisa de car?ter explorat?rio-descritivo e utilizou a combina??o de t?cnicas quantiqualitativas, de acordo com o previsto e requisitado na aplica??o do instrumento de avalia??o denominado Compet&enible Model. Para o levantamento de dados foram realizadas visitas t?cnicas e coleta em fontes secund?rias, principalmente na pesquisa documental. A an?lise dos dados foi pautada nos registros e documentos e no uso da estat?stica descritiva simples para a pontua??o dos elementos oferecidos pelo Compet&enible Model. Os resultados permitiram conhecer as reais condi??es de competitividade do roteiro frente aos atributos de competitividade global para destinos tur?sticos: na dimens?o I, Governan?a, atingiu 17 pontos, classificado como em estrutura??o e na dimens?o II, Competitividade, atingiu 10 pontos, classificado em d?bil . Estes resultados evidenciam a necessidade de um maior envolvimento dos atores que comp?em a cadeia produtiva do turismo no Polo Serid?/RN, para que as a??es, programas e projetos sejam colocados em pr?tica. Espera-se que, assim, o turismo seja considerado uma atividade importante para o desenvolvimento local e global, servindo de refer?ncia para a gest?o futura de roteiros, orientando novas diretrizes pol?ticas, de planejamento e organiza??o para uma melhor competitividade / 2020-01-01

The future of electric aircraft is closing in, with several companies racing to develop the first electric aircraft for commercial use. Researchers believe that electric aircraft have many benefits compared to conventional aircraft: the decrease of emissions, cheaper costs in the chain of development from manufacturing to ticket prices and a decrease in both fuel costs and overall operating costs. Amidst the race for the development of electric aircraft for commercial purposes between new and existing manufacturers, there is missing information which is needed to understand the profitability of electric aircraft. The question remains of how much the cost will change between conventional aircraft and electric aircraft. The aim of this study is to compare the operating cost of an electric aircraft (with 19 seats) to similar conventional aircraft on regional routes. The comparison would inform the decision of airlines interested in investing in electric aviation. To help achieve the aim of the study, a comparison analysis, a cost calculation, and analysis, as well as a SWOT analysis were performed using data gathered through literature search, a case study, and interviews. The study was performed on two conventional aircraft, the Beechcraft 1900D and the Jetstream JS31, both turboprop aircraft powered by jet fuel, and an electric aircraft, Heart Aerospace’s ES-19. Common for all aircraft is the capacity of 19 seats and their utilization for short-range flights. The total cost of electric aircraft is between 15 to 22% cheaper than the operating cost for conventional aircraft. The most expensive category for electric aircraft is the ownership cost, which can be reduced through mass production of electric aircraft, as the ownership cost of aircraft is generally higher when fewer aircraft are made. The electric aircraft is currently at a disadvantage due to the weight of the batteries and overall aircraft weight, which increases the weight-related airport charges. / <p>Examensarbetet är utfört vid Institutionen för teknik och naturvetenskap (ITN) vid Tekniska fakulteten, Linköpings universitet</p>
