Aviation historians, at least ones of the couch-sitting variety, typically do not have a fondness for hydrogen for one reason and one reason only: The Hindenburg. Due to the scarcity of helium in the United States at the time and its banning as an export under the Helium Control Act of 1927, the Germans were…
For an $838 billion industry, the aerospace industry, comprised of aircraft manufacturing, missile & defense, space, and MRO sectors, is remarkably centralized. According to a study by AeroDynamic Advisory and the Teal Group, 87 percent of the industry’s output derives from just 10 countries. The scale of output some of these countries are responsible for…
There are some aerospace products that will never be considered obsolete. Many of the largest component manufacturers in the industry have been supplying nuts and bolts to aircraft specifications for decades — and other than oscillating between titanium, stainless steel, aluminum, and other exotic materials, those designs are not going away anytime soon. Other products…
There’s an interesting paradox that can be attributed to the aerospace industry: despite being responsible for some most advanced military and consumer-based technology the world has ever seen, the supply chain that brings such technology to life is notoriously traditional. Where OEMs in other industries have adopted various software applications to monitor inventory and establish…
While each industry can be defined by its own defining features and challenges, the aerospace industry stands apart as being particularly unique — and risky. By 2023, the Airbus Global Market Forecast projects there to be roughly 37,400 passenger and freight aircraft in regular rotation, up from 18,460 in 2014. Despite this growth, however, the…
Driven by increased travel demand and decreased fuel costs, the aerospace industry is perfectly poised for a new era of growth and expansion. In a recent study, the aerospace sector grew by 2.4 percent in 2016 alone, with a total revenue nearing $674 billion. With such opportunity, however, aerospace leaders such as Boeing and Airbus…
