A rotary engine powers a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) personal aircraft known as the Moller Skycar M400. It is a flying car known as a personal air vehicle (PAV), and it is expected to make its first untethered flight in 2020. The PAV has been under development for 23 years at a total cost of $120 million. Assuming the $120 million was spent in an equal amount each year, determine the future worth at the end of the 23-year period at an interest rate of 9% per year. The future worth is $
$120 million was spent in an equal amount each year then amount spent each year be 120/23=$5.217 million
We need to find Future worth of this annual investment
FW of Investment done today after time "t" for given rate of return r is =Principle*(1+r)^t
Assuming that this annual investment is done at the beginning of each year therefore FW of Last payment is 5.217(1.09)
Therefore FW of this investment is some of Future worth of individual annual investments
=5.217(1.09)^23+5.217(1.09)^22+5.217(1.09)^21+5.217(1.09)^20+...+5.217(1.09)=5,.217(1.09)(1+...+(1.09)^22)
=5.217*((1.09)^23-1)/(1.09-1)
=362.748
Hence the Future Worth of this investment be $362.75 million

1. VTOL Engine Forces A propulsion system for a newP VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft is being tested. i The design is a basic turbojet AP with the geometry shown in the P figure to the right. The engine is mounted on a pod in a test cell that keeps the engine stationary by exerting the necessary reaction forces to balance the forces generated by the engine. Gas turbine Pe PeTe The test cell provides air to the engine...
