EVENT SPOTLIGHT
 
Aerospace manufacturing has been turned on its head almost overnight:

  • Geared for record-high monthly production rates, the industrial base suddenly faces OEMs running at a quarter, third or even half as much for years, depending on the program.
  • Liquidity remains a top concern, and consolidation is speeding up.
  • Relationships are being redefined.
  • Digitally, everything will change, with every month post-pandemic equal to a year pre-COVID.
  • The market may change, too, with supersonic, UAM and hybrid-electric and sustainable fuels racing toward implementation.
