The Importance Of Goldstar Air Plane Tail

Mon, 11 Nov 2024 Source: Andre Mustapha NII okai Inusah

Goldstar Air, the Wings of Ghana aircraft tail will play a crucial role in the airline's overall design, functionality, branding, and a symbol of the country. The design paint on the planes will help identify and distinguish Goldstar Air from the rest and the colors will represent the airline's 24-hour service brand and promote tourism and economic growth.

The international airline Goldstar Air's unique tail design symbolizes Ghana and will attract more tourists and investors. The airline's 24-hour service will increase brand visibility and recognition of the Republic of Ghana at any airport where the aircraft arrives.

An airline’s livery is a set of insignia that operators apply to their aircraft, including the tailfin, fuselage, and underbelly. It has been an emblematic ambassador, an emissary of the land and culture from which the airplane flies.

For aviation enthusiasts, regular travelers, and anyone with even a passing interest in commercial aviation, the easiest way to identify Goldstar Air is to glance at the artwork on its tail.

Goldstar Air's tail is effective and will stand out both high in the sky and on the crowded, cluttered tarmac, from our artistically designed color schemes to highly refined graphic icons that simply but effectively transcend geography, culture, and language to communicate universal themes for the 24-hour service.

Aircraft tails are painted first before the rest of the plane. It is easier to paint and balance the vertical fin and rudder when they are initially assembled than waiting to do the entire airplane.

The entire tail section of the aircraft is known as the empennage, including horizontal and vertical stabilizers, the rudder, and the elevator. As a combined unit, it works identically to the feather on the arrow, helping guide the aircraft to its destination.

At the rear of most aircraft's fuselages are a horizontal stabilizer and an elevator. The stabilizer is a fixed-wing section that provides stability for the aircraft and keeps it flying straight. It also prevents the up-and-down, or pitching, motion of the aircraft nose.

The vertical stabilizer, often known as the tail fin or rudder, is a small fin mounted beneath the fuselage of an aircraft to provide directional stability. On an aircraft with a conventional layout, the vertical stabilizer is mounted at the end of the fuselage.

The vertical stabilizer prevents the nose of the aircraft from moving side to side or yawing.

The elevator is used to control the position of the nose of the aircraft and the angle of attack of the wing.

Changing the inclination of the wing to the local flight path changes the amount of lift that the wing generates.

This, in turn, causes the aircraft to climb or dive. During take-off, the elevators are used to bring the nose of the aircraft up to begin the climb out. Elevator inputs can increase the lift during a banked turn and cause a tighter turn.

That is why elevator performance is so important for fighter aircraft.

Goldstar Air, as a registered Ghanaian and United States company, will also be branding the belly of its planes ‘Belly of America.’ While it will not be visible from the ground, it will be visible after takeoff to also signify our identity, and brand visibility, increase brand awareness beyond airports or airfields distinctive brand that supports commercial gains for both countries.

The airline’s belly art will also make it instantly recognizable to the plane spotters. Goldstar Air Passengers will have the flying experience beamed with pride from both countries.

The belly of a plane is also known as the aircraft fairing or ventral fairing. It is located on the underside of the fuselage between the main wings and can cover additional cargo storage or fuel tanks. The belly will be a marketing tool for Goldstar Air's 24-hour service and will help differentiate ourselves and show our identities. It also fits with our brand promise of being thoughtful and innovative and will add a unique element to our fleet.

Goldstar Airplane's belly and tails will serve as flying billboards, showcasing the airline's brand to international audiences. This will boost global visibility and recognition and promote a positive image of the airline and countries.

According to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Goldstar Air Eric Bannerman, even though many passengers will choose their carrier based on the price, route, and convenience of departure, branding and marketing are big business for airlines, they spend huge amounts of money on this exercise. Indeed, Goldstar Air's 24-hour service will establish a successful brand, the airline will deliver what it promises in its brand values proposition. Our brand awareness will largely be influenced by visual clues that an airline shows to the public and it has taken the form of the company name, logo, color, or font that is uniquely related to the company and impacts on brand knowledge, equity, and awareness.

In the world of aviation, the aircraft’s livery, including the distinctive design on its tailfin, serves as a symbolic ambassador for the airline. Goldstar Air tailfin will be an asset of the airline in the skies.

Goldstar Air livery will be one of the most visible and familiar expressions of the airline’s brand and corporate identity. This will consist of a combination of color painting schemes, airline names, and logos that are applied to the fuselage, wing tips, and tailfin of our aircraft.

The airline branding perspective is designed accurately to represent Goldstar Air’s values and characteristics. The livery has been designed to promote the key brand values of the airline and visually distinguish its aircraft from others. The design will work with and complement the

physical shape and form of the aircraft itself. The livery will also make the fuselage vulnerable to corrosion, dirt, friction, solar radiation, and other effects at high altitudes.

In the highly competitive aviation sector, establishing a strong brand identity is crucial. Moreover, airline liveries and tailfins help in establishing an emotional connection with passengers. A carefully crafted livery can evoke a sense of pride and loyalty among frequent flyers. Airlines often incorporate national or cultural symbols into their liveries, fostering a sense of patriotism or nostalgia. By associating these emotional sentiments with our brand, Goldstar Air's 24-hour service will create a strong bond with the target audience, making our planes easily recognizable on the tarmac or in the sky.

When it comes to special liveries, they can be applied to aircraft for a variety of reasons. These could include sponsorship agreements, historical celebrations, and the acknowledgment of significant anniversaries. There are countless opportunities, but aviation enthusiasts are often more interested in unique liveries and will go out of their way to spot one.

Three multinational worldwide airline alliances have grown and developed their aircraft liveries and corporate identities which encompass and transcend major carriers, mainline carriers, legacy carriers, and flag airlines. Individual airline identities along with any ties to regional, geopolitical, national boundaries, and government heritages, as Goldstar Air is also getting ready to launch Afrik Allianz.

Boeing painted a pre-delivery 747-8 to commemorate the Seattle Seahawks’ 2014 National Football Conference Championship and appearance in Super Bowl XLVIII. The livery features the Seahawks logo and a ‘12’ on the tail about the team’s fans, who are known collectively as ‘the 12th man.’ An update in 2015, with ‘In it to win it’ added to the aft fuselage, appeared in a flyover of Lake Washington during the Boeing Seafair Air Show in August of that year.

Mr. Bannerman emphasized that Goldstar Air livery and tailfin will go beyond artist elements on our aircraft exteriors. They will be a powerful tool for establishing our brand identity, fostering recognition, and marketing. By creating visually striking and unique designs, Goldstar Air will capture attention, evoke emotions, and create a lasting impression on passengers.

Goldstar Air's slogan, Wings of Ghana will also be a powerful tool for promoting the brand identity of the vibrant West African nation with over 32 million people, boasting rich culture, abundant resources, and endless possibilities and headquarters of the African Continental Free Trade Area which is fueling a booming market in Africa.

Airline advertising slogans give potential customers the impression that flying with them will be more enjoyable or less stressful, than flying with anyone else. There is a lot of positivity in good airline slogans and best taglines which are incredibly memorable, and offer freedom and friendliness in a way you can remember, even if the airline in question is no longer around.

Just like people name pets, Goldstar Air will name the aircraft to create a stronger connection with the plane that will always remind the airline of something or someone significant. The naming thus becomes a source of emotional attachment to the plane.

Goldstar Air aircraft will wear registration numbers or letters that also indicate the plane’s nation of origin, on the rear fuselage, but will also carry names. The planes will be christened in honor of prominent personalities, cities, national parks, waterfalls, famous inventors, and explorers to promote tourism in the country.

To commemorate the naming of Goldstar Airplanes, prominent personalities will be at the airport to unveil their customized names on the airplanes, while the corresponding cities and others chosen for the dedicated aircraft registration will host the unveiling ceremony of the name of the plane as a sign of blessing and to show patriotism for the country.

Identification is crucial for the provision of air traffic service (ATS). Before providing surveillance service to an aircraft, the controller must first identify the aircraft and inform the pilot. Identification must be maintained until the termination of the surveillance service. If, for some reason, identification is lost, due to fade area, the pilot must be informed. Later, when the aircraft symbol appears again, it must be re-identified and the pilot informed accordingly.

Identification aims to unambiguously match a flight in the air and its representation of the situation displays a plot or a track. In other words, the controller needs to make sure which aircraft corresponds to a particular symbol on the situation display.

International Civil Aviation Organization maintains the standards for aircraft registration, known as tail numbers, including the alphanumeric codes that identify the country of registration, such as airplanes registered in the United States have tail numbers starting with N, and airplanes registered in Ghana have tail numbers starting with 9G.

Goldstar Air's tradition of plane-naming will be a way of blending aviation and culture. This crossover has a way of reminding employees and passengers that the real beauty of air travel is more than just technological. It is about connection, the linking of distant places. The airplane will be an ambassador, and always a touch more special, and more dignified, when it carries with it some physical manifestation of the nation and people it represents, the logo, the flag, and something as simple as our name.

The plane naming pattern which will be on the Ghana registry will feature designations like 9G-H.E JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA, 9G-H.M OTUMFUO OSEI TUTU II, 9G-H.E GEORGE MANNEH WEAH, 9G-H.E SHEIKH OSMAN NUHU SHARUBUTU, 9G-H.M ABDULAI JINAPOR II, 9G-DR. KWAME NKRUMAH, 9G-TETTEH QUARSHIE and others. Documentaries highlighting the achievements of these individuals, cities, and others will be showcased on the designated plane screens during takeoff and landing, as Goldstar Air is projecting a fleet of more than one hundred (100) modern aircraft to a network of more than (90) key business and

leisure destinations and the airline wants to be recognized among the best one hundred (100) companies in Africa.
