Key Issues Addressed Key Benefits

The market for commercial unmanned aerial systems (UAS), or commercial drones, continues to evolve. While several factors, including the relatively slow progress global regulatory agencies have achieved integrating small drones into national airspaces, are hindering the market’s growth. Advances in technology and software are enabling drones to ...

Drone services providers (DSPs) offer clients turnkey drone services so they may be the single point of contact for enterprise customers. Some DSPs provide pilots for hire to accomplish commercial drone tasks, but most offer business solutions using a combination of drones; certified commercial drone pilots; and data capture, processing, storage, a...

Technically, composite material has been used in aviation throughout its history. Currently, high-tech composites are on the rise. Over the last decade, the commercial aerospace sector has had two carbon fiber composite aircraft introduced. The Boeing Company delivered the 787 Dreamliner, with Airbus quickly following suite with its new A350 XWB. ...

Auxiliary power units (APUs) are no longer an option on commercial aircraft like they were a few decades ago - they have become a standard. APUs' on-the-ground services include the provision of pneumatic power and electrical energy. A/C pack operation, the powering of self-contained generators within a craft, and emergency system activation - APUs ...

As the value of commercial drones in a wide variety of industries increases, so will the importance of drone service providers (DSPs). This research focuses on 23 companies considered the top firms providing third-party drone-based data collection and analysis globally. DSPs aim to offer clients solutions to business problems using a combination of...

This growth insight analyzes the current presence of additive manufacturing in the global aerospace sector. While this is a global study, most of the additive manufacturing action is taking place in the Americas and Europe. Additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, has existed in the aerospace sector for over a decade. Early on, the...

This growth insight discusses the landscape of commercial aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul facilities (MROs) that provide check maintenance and modifications for airlines and air freight carriers. Prior to stand-alone aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities, major airlines and air freight carriers were forced to acquir...
