With high demands for production, this should entail an equally high level of quality that exceeds customers’ expectations. But, sadly, this is not always the case. Constantly depending upon others may take away the OEM’s ability to…

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…

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…
