Aerospace Program Office Customers • Vehicle “Users” • Commercial Operators • Government (DOD, FAA, NASA) • OEMs • Airframe Manufacturers • Power Plant Manufacturers • Industry Suppliers
State of Aerospace Industry • Management focused upon business aspects as opposed to technical issues • Reduced technical capabilities of airline operators with greater reliance on manufacturers • Fewer new aircraft programs under evaluation or development (sonic cruiser, very large aircraft, joint strike fighter) • Reduction in government supported research and development • Continued consolidation • Loss of skilled labor to other industries
Initial Aerospace Program Office Approach (1996) • Focus on commercial air transport community which offers the greatest potential for SAE • Establish programs related to key technical issues • Ensure APO programs provide benefit to military and space technical sectors as well • Partner with key aerospace organizations to raise awareness and image of SAE
First Aerospace Plan • Approved by APO in 1996 • Focused on the development of products/services to address key technical issues • Deicing/anti-icing • Paint/depaint • Man-machine • Reliability • Fasteners • Plan completed in 2000
Aerospace Program OfficeKey Measures • Primary measure of SAE’s success in aerospace is membership in SAE from aerospace community • Success of individual projects • Growth in SAE image • Increase in partnering • Integrated operating board/committee participation
Aerospace Membership Includes members with Aerospace Engrg as 1st choice, Aerospace Engrg as 2nd choice, Automotive Engrg. with aerospace company affiliation; Aerospace Engrg. with automotive company affiliation
Partnerships ATA, AIA, GAMA, EAA, AIAA, FSF, FAA, ERAU, IATA, IFA, EUROCAE, AECMA, ANA, GAPAN, SBAC, RAeS, NRC
SAE Aerospace Events New Conferences: Advances in Av Safety, Digital Human Modeling, Aero Manufacturing Tech, Aero Power Systems, Aircraft Ground Deicing, Lightning and Static Elect, DOD Maintenance
Recent SAE Aerospace Accomplishments • Creation of Aerospace Congress & Exhibition, a consolidation of 5 aerospace conferences, and partnership with Aerospace North America • Conducted “Aerospace Day” at SAE Headquarters to educate staff • Established International Aerospace Quality Group in cooperation with European and Asian to standardize quality systems (AS9100 and EN9100) • Administration of DOD Maintenance Conference
SAE Aerospace Ongoing Activities • Ongoing dialogue with European aerospace standards organization (AECMA) to create a process for joint standards development • Discussions underway to consolidate US aerospace standards activities (AIA) • Discussions with ATA and FSF to consolidate aviation safety conferences into one event in North America
The Future Develop a better focus of SAE to aerospace and major enhancements to our strategies. • Revise administrative approaches as a result of recent Board directions • Provide guidance to the Board on segment functions • Expand APO representation • Develop increased communication support • Recommend revision to existing aerospace logos • Identification of issues that SAE should address in next 1-3 years (with measures of success that are meaningful to the industry customer) • Relationships with other associations (Flight Safety Foundation and Aerospace North America) • Growth of APO (back to basics)
Aerospace Program Office Future Strategies • Focus on commercial air transport and military aerospace community • Ensure SAE programs provide measurable, sustainable, and global benefits to commercial and military aerospace sectors • Establish programs related to key current and future technical issues • Expand global awareness of SAE aerospace resources, capabilities, experience, and commitment • partnership with key aerospace organizations • development of corporate interfaces • enhancement of Operating Board aerospace functions
