The Aerospace Industries Association’s Future of Aerospace Standardization report, first published in 2004, has been revised and updated by AIA’s Standards Governance Board.

The Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) in collaboration with Avascent have released a new report detailing the breakthrough growth in the autonomous aircraft market, which is expected to result in nearly $325 billion over the next two decades.

The COVID-19 pandemic took an immense toll on America and the world last year, causing significant and tragic losses to human lives.

Through early strides in aircraft design and engineering, a focus on safety throughout the process, and recruitment of top talent, the United States has established itself as the global leader in aerospace.

From 3D model designs of the next generation of space shuttles to the transfer and storage of trillions of data pieces around
the world, the aerospace and defense industry has used digitalization to increase quality, performance, and profitability.

AIA is proud to publish its annual ‘Facts & Figures: U.S. Aerospace & Defense’ report, which has traditionally served as a year-in-review for industry statistics.

Additive manufacturing is quickly growing in aerospace for production use because of weight savings, design freedom, flow time reduction, and cost savings

Our “2019 Facts & Figures: U.S. Aerospace & Defense” analysis highlights an eight-year trend of sustained growth, culminating in 2018 sales exceeding $929 billion and a trade surplus of nearly $90 billion.

The future threat landscape is becoming more agile and dangerous as our adversaries field new capabilities at an increased pace and complexity. New and emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) swarm logic, multifunction digital electronics, cyber, and advanced anti-access area denial systems are all contributing to an increasingly lethal battle space.
