Multi-year total cost of ownership scenario for the CWP-700 Composite Wing Panel Production Program if Meridian Aircraft Co. exercises its steady-state production option in Years 2 and 3. Year 1 reflects this program's signed, reconciled budget; Years 2-3 are planning-level estimates, not signed contract value.
3-Year Program Cost Scenario
| Year | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Year 1 — Qualification + Production Ramp (this program) | $3,500,000 |
| Year 2 — Steady-State Production (option scenario) | $3,290,000 |
| Year 3 — Steady-State Production (option scenario) | $3,290,000 |
| Total 3-Year TCO | $10,080,000 |
Year 1 = $3,500,000 (this program's Program Budget, fully reconciled). Years 2-3 assume steady-state production only (no repeat NRE/tooling spend, no repeat FAI lab costs) at an estimated recurring run-rate — labor holding near Phase 2 levels plus materials scaled to a mature production rate.
