 Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing

Develops spacecraft and aircraft for the military aircraft,

commercial aircraft, tanks, missiles, and another weapon
related equipment

Companies in this industry manufacture aircraft engines

and engine parts as well as landing gears, propellers, and
rotors. Other companies specialize in manufacturing the
armed vehicle.
 Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing

The Aerospace and Defense Industry serves, as its name

represents, two main markets:
• Aerospace - which largely comprises the production, sale,
and service of commercial aircraft
• Defense - which is dependent on the nation's need for
military weapons and systems designed to operate on land,
sea, and in the air.
 Materials for Aerospace parts

Titanium
 This lightweight and strong material offers excellent corrosion and
temperature resistance and can be machined or 3D printed.
Aluminum
 With its high strength-to-weight ratio, aluminum is a good candidate
for housing and brackets that must support high loading.
 It is the most cost-effective metal for machining or 3D printing.
 Materials for Aerospace parts

Inconel
 This 3D-printed metal is a nickel chromium superalloy ideal for rocket
engine components and other applications that require high-
temperature resistance.
Stainless Steel
 Stainless steel 17-4 PH is widely used in the aerospace industry due to
its high strength, good corrosion resistance, and good mechanical
properties at temperatures up to 600°F.
Liquid Silicone Rubber
 Elastic fluorosilicone material is specifically geared toward fuel and
oil resistance. Applications in aerospace include soft-touch surfaces,
gaskets, seals, and O-rings.
 What are the Aerospace and Defense Industry Value Chain

The Value Chain of the A&D sector:

 Management program
 Designing

 Building
 Services
 Aerospace and Defense Industry Value Chain

Program management
 Often deal with multiple contracts. These contracts offer compliance
requirements that add layers of conventional structures.

Design
 It is a vital part of the value chain. A conventional approach used in
A&D sector is the clean-sheet design. The clean sheet design
functions by hosting teams and set of tools that reinvent every aspect
of the plane.
 Aerospace and Defense Industry Value Chain

Building
 The firm deals with factors such as process efficiency, utilization of
asset, and leverage of material procurement

Service
 In the A&D Industry, leveraging the supplier network deals with a
variety of costs, quality, and regulations. The system enables the
industry to mitigate the risk of counterfeit products, offer the great
warranty, and meet regulatory compliance.
 What are the Key Segments in Aerospace and Defense Industry

Large defense prime contractors/system integrators

 They provide service or products to an intelligence department of a
government. The products include:
 Electronic systems
 Vehicles
 Military aircraft
 Weaponry
 Ships
 The services offered include:
 Engineering support
 Technical support
 Logistics
 Training communications support
 Key Segments in Aerospace and Defense Industry

Commercial aerospace prime contractors/system

integrators
 They play a massive role in value creation of the aerospace and
defense industry. They sell complete parts to commercial OEMS
enabling them to work through record-high order backlogs that
increase production rates for critical platforms.
First-tier subcontractors
 They have the direct contract with the client. They provide services
to the project as well as providing goods to the project.
 The services offered include; architectural services, project brief,
management of construction services, and engineering services.
 Key Segments in Aerospace and Defense Industry

Second-tier Subcontractors
 They have a sub-contract with the first-tier subcontractors.
 Their role is being a novated design consultant, manufacturer and
material distributor, and suppliers of major equipment and plant such
as tower cranes
Third-tier Subcontractors
 They are contractors, suppliers, and designers with a second-tier
subcontractor.
 They provide working details, manufacture and distribute materials,
supply equipment and hire firms.
 Key Segments in Aerospace and Defense Industry

Tier-n
 The third-tier subcontractors also employ subcontractors and
suppliers
 In many cases, there will be a forth or even fifth-tier involved
in the construction process of the aerospace and defense
industry
What are the Key Terms in Aerospace and Defense Industry

Systems engineering
 Focuses on how to design and manage complex systems in the
aerospace and defense industy
Composites
 These are one class of materials that play a vital role in the current
and future aerospace components
Fuselage
 It is the body of the airplain that holds all the pieces together
 Front of the fuselage is the cockpit
 Rear part of the fuselage are the passengers and carried cargo
What are the Key Terms in Aerospace and Defense Industry

Fly by wire (FBW)

 It is an architecture that switches the conventional mechanical flight
controls to allow aircraft designer to get creative with designing of
the wing, therefore trading inherent stability for improved efficiency
Radar
 It is a system that uses radio waves to detect object’s angle, range or
velocity.
Narrow body aircraft
 Also known as a single-aisle aircraft. Highest capacity of the
narrowbody aircraft is 295 passengers
What are the Key Terms in Aerospace and Defense Industry

Wide body aircraft

 A more substantial airliner usually designed with multiple aisles.
Wide body aircraft can accommodate between 250 to 600 passengers
Flight test program
 A part of aeronautical engineering that helps in developing and
gathering data during flight of an aircraft
MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul)
 A service that deals with rectifying issue related to navigational
devices and engine components
Program
 The programs used by different bodies should continuously innovate
to create parts and assemblies that satisfy customer requirements
What are the Competitive Advantage in Aerospace and Defense Industry

Compliance and quality management strategies

 Involves installing and consolidating ERP systems give the manufacturers
in the sector strategies that enable them to become strategists rather than
data collectors
Applicability of competitive intelligence
 Companies as Boeing apply CI to identify opportunities and gain
competitive advantage relevant to their success
Production capability
 The need of operating at an accelerated pace is a vital in the aerospace and
defense industry
Market Acceptance
 The sector faces stricter market conditions mainly affected by customers
