Download or read book Business Report Global Aircraft Manufacturing Industry written by Stefan Lacher and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2004-06-06 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: Distinction, Deakin University (Faculty of Business and Law), course: Strategic Management, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this report is to analyse the attractiveness of the aircraft manufacturing industry. Research for this report includes information from journal articles, newspapers, and analysis of actions of the main competitors. The major findings indicated that the aircraft manufacturing industry has undergone extensive changes since the late 1990’s. Despite the negative effects of environmental change like the terrorism acts of September 11, 2001 and diseases like SARS on air travel, the aircraft industry is still attractive for new entrants. The long-term growth rate caused by globalisation, governmental support, and general need for more mobility show that there is still a large demand for aircrafts of all sizes. Due to the industry’s attractiveness, it is highly recommendable to enter the industry. Companies considering this should be aware of the high volatility in the market as well as the huge capital investments needed for the development process. [...]

Download or read book Airplane Manufacturing in Farmingdale written by Ken Neubeck and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Farmingdale, located in west-central Long Island on both sides of the Nassau-Suffolk County border, was an important center of airplane manufacturing from the First World War until almost the end of the Cold War. Aviation pioneers like Lawrence Sperry, Sherman Fairchild, Leroy Grumman, Alexander de Seversky, and Alexander Kartveli directed the manufacture of aircraft, aircraft engines, and key subassemblies as they evolved from the propeller, biplane era to the jet and space age. Farmingdale witnessed the creation of such cutting-edge aircraft as the Sperry Triplane Amphibian and Messenger; the Fairchild FC-2; the Grumman FF-1, JF-1 Duck, and G-22 Gulfhawk; the Seversky P-35; the Republic Aviation P-47, F-84, and F-105; and the Fairchild Republic space shuttle tails and A-10 Warthog. Airplane manufacturing in Farmingdale ended in 1987 with the demise of Fairchild Republic, but this book offers a comprehensive pictorial history of the outstanding achievements of so many talented men and women over seven decades.

Book excerpt: World War II was the greatest airborne clash of arms in history. America?s aircraft manufacturers went from a near standing start in the late 1930?s to producing tens of thousands of planes per year. By the end of the war, they built a phenomenal 300,000 planes, a feat that most (including the German high command) thought impossible. They manufactured more aircraft in one year than had been produced in all the pre-war years since the Wright brothers invented the airplane. The Los Angeles area was the center of this remarkable effort, being the headquarters for Douglas Aircraft, Hughes, Lockheed, North American Aviation, Northrop and Vultee, as well as countless subcontractors. Thousands of aircraft workers enlisted or were drafted, leaving manufacturers with huge orders and few experienced employees. They responded by hiring women, students, disabled people and others who might not otherwise have been considered for production positions. Housewives and others with little mechanical experience rolled up their sleeves, learned fast, and brought forth an industrial achievement that ranks among America?s greatest accomplishments. Aircraft manufacturers, museums and libraries have generously opened their special collections of photographs to the author for use in this volume. Many have never been published before.
