  • Penny Farthing

    Penny Farthing
    The Penny Farthing was invented by James Starley in 1871. James Starley revolutionised many parts of the bicycle invention. The Penny Farthing was the first efficient bicycle that had a frame and rubber tires. The Penny Farthing had one large wheel at the front and a smaller wheel at the back, making it unique.
    Cost was fixed, as in the 1800's money was scarce.
    Time was optimised, as James Starley executed the idea quickly.
    Quality was accepted as it was not made of superior quality.
  • RMS Titanic

    RMS Titanic
    The Titanic project began in 1909 and was undertaken by Belfast ship builder Harland & Wolff. Titanic and her sister ships Olympic and Britannic were built for transatlantic transport. The Titanic was the largest passenger ship to have ever been constructed when it entered service in 1912, measuring 296.06 metres in length. The construction of the Titanic cost today's equivalent of NZ$250,000,000. The Titanic sank on her maiden voyage.

  • Helicopter

    Helicopter
    In 1939 the first helicopter, the VS-300 designed by Igor Sikorsky took flight in Connecticut. The flight only lasted a few seconds. The flight was successful however it pinpointed difficulties within helicopters such as lack of control. Sikorsky continued to develop helicopters, which influenced development in other countries.
    Helicopters are useful for firefighting, crop spraying, delivering mail and lots more
    Quality was fixed as this was most important

  • USS Nautilus (SSN-571)

    USS Nautilus (SSN-571)
    The project was planned and led by Captain (later Admiral) Hyman G. Rickover, USN USS
    Nautilus was the world’s first operational nuclear submarine. The performance advantages of
    nuclear submarines over "conventional" (typically diesel-electric) submarines are considerable. It was able to operate quietly, swiftly, independently and for extended periods. They also carry nuclear weapons.
    Time was fixed. Quality was optomised. Cost was accepted.
  • Hamilton Waterjet

    Hamilton Waterjet
    The Hamilton Waterjet was the first jetboat invented by Sir William Hamilton in 1954. William Hamilton is a self taught engineer who dreamed of a boat that would carry him up the river, and thus the Hamilton Waterjet was born. The waterjet is able to get up to 17mph.
    Quality was fixed as this was of utmost importance.
    Time was optimised as the project was carried out fairly quickly
    Cost was accepted.
  • Hovercraft

    Hovercraft
    In 1955, British inventor and engineer Christopher Sydney Cockerell invented a swift
    water-transport vehicle that was not quite a boat or plane It is an air-cushion vehicle, is an
    amphibious craft capable of travelling over land, water, mud, ice, and other surfaces. Today most countries have a hovercraft somewhere and many militaries and coastguards use them daily.

  • Boeing 747

    Boeing 747
    The design and construction of the 747 began in 1965. The core objective was to build an aircraft that could fly more than double the number of people on any existing aircraft an could also be an effective freighter. The first Boeing 747 was completed in 1969 and Boeing have since built 1,548 747s. Boeing had a tight budget and had to amass the largest ever debt for a corporation at that time of US$2 billion.

  • The Concorde

    The Concorde
    The Concorde was a revolution in commercial aviation. This was the first type of supersonic passenger airplane which could carry between 92 and 128 people. It took 14 years to develop this from 1965-1979 and was removed from service following 27 years of flight. The original program cost estimate was around £70 Million however the eventual cost was around £1.3 Billion. Eventually, rising costs meant the Concorde was no longer viable. Cost was fixed.

  • Space Shuttle

    Space Shuttle
    The Space Shuttle was developed as the first type of reusable space craft for NASA. Significant planning went into developing this method of transportation for NASA to carry astronauts and cargo to and from Earth. The project cost US$209 Billion over a period from 1976 to 2011 which included building 5 orbiters. Quality was fixed and was the most important trait for NASA.
    Cost was optimised as methods were employed to keep costs as low as possible while maintaining quality.

  • Seabreacher

    Seabreacher
    The seabreacher is semisub, was designed and developed by engineers New Zealander
    Rob Innes and his business partner American Dan Piazza. It’s a unique project because of the capability of the craft that push the limits of what people can do in the water: diving, jumping, rolling, porpoising,
    and other amazing aquabatic tricks, all within the safety and comfort of a dry, sealed cockpit. Time was accepted. Quality was fixed. Cost was optimized.
  • BRTS ( Bus Rapid Transit System )

    BRTS ( Bus Rapid Transit System )
    The first BRTS transportation system introduce to world 1972 by Jamie Lerner and urban planer from BRAZIL. this project is about Ahmadabad city brts system where unique thing is buses has travel from there dedicated lane and specific route so they do not have to face any kind of traffic form the other vehicle that's why buses reach sharp on time to every station. cost was fixed as it is AMC government project .Time was optimize and quality accepted as less risk for traveling of passenger.
  • The Panama Canal Expansion.

    The Panama Canal Expansion.

The old designed lead Ships of only 106 feet of width but by the expansion ships now be expanded to 180 feet. Quality is fixed here and time is accepted but cost is optimized
  • Lime Scooter

    Lime Scooter
    The Lime Scooter has been the result of a project undertaken by an American Company. There objective was to provide anyone access to smart and affordable mobility and reduce dependence on cars. The outcome of this is to leave the planet cleaner and healthier. This has provided Christchurch with an alternative method of transport. Cost was fixed as Lime has developed their scooter with emphasis on cost.
    Time is optimised to deliver a product ahead of the rest of the market.
