An aerospace panel would target boosting the aerospace and technology industries in Ohio under a local state lawmakers bill.

The aerospace and defense industry is big business in Ohio with more than 130,000 workers and 1,200 suppliers, but Rep. Rick Perales, said the state can and should do more. He sponsored the legislation introduced this week.

This industry, this opportunity deserves so much more given where the technology is in the state of Ohio, said Perales, R-Beavercreek. The bill also would call on the panel to strategize how best to prepare for a possible round of military base realignment and closures.

The 13-member Aerospace and Technology Study Committee would have six legislators, three from the House and three from the Senate, and seven members from industry, academia and the military to represent each geographic region of Ohio.

Michael L. Heil, president and CEO of the Ohio Aerospace Institute, said the emphasis on aerospace would benefit the industrys outlook in the state.

People know we know how to make things, but I think we have stiff competition, particularly from the southeast states, he said.

Ohio needs aircraft and satellite assembly factories to add to a strong base of suppliers, he said. Theres a perception out there that we have to overcome to show that we are pro-development, pro-business, he said.

Maurice Mo McDonald, Dayton Development Coalition executive vice president for aerospace and defense, said the panel could rally the entire state to focus on aerospace and technology.

The Dayton-Cincinnati region has ranked at the top of aerospace product and aviation parts producers in the nation, and Ohio companies were the No. 1 U.S. suppliers to Airbus and Boeing, the Ohio Aerospace and Aviation Council reported.

The Dayton area has more than 15,000 workers in the aerospace industry and supplier ranks, according to Dayton Development Coalition figures, which separately counted about 27,300 federal and 12,800 defense contractor employees.

Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance's Aerospace Executive of the Year, Bob Collett, Reflects on Umbra Cuscinetti's Achievements at Breakfast Meeting

Everett, WA October 29, 2013 Over 40 Aerospace Executives found their way through heavy morning fog to attend Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance's October Breakfast Showcase featuring PNAA's Aerospace Executive of the Year Robert Collett of Umbra Cuscinetti.

During the two hour meeting, Collett provided an overview of his aerospace career and information about Umbra Cuscinetti's operations in Italy, Germany and the United States. Umbra, a supplier of actuators, ball screws, torque tubes, and gears used on the aircraft wings, provided tours of its new 70,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility which is expected to generate 100 new jobs and $50 million by 2015.

Bob Uptagrafft, PNAA Vice Chair and senior program manager at Impact Washington has known Collett since 2009 and has watched Collett transform Umbra into an efficient, and successful manufacturing facility. "This didn't happen by accident. And to say the change has been explosive is an understatement," Uptagrafft said.

PNAA Board Chair JC Hall, agreed. "When I was first introduced to Umbra Cuscinetti 5 years ago, I would have described it as a failing company. Their costs were out of control, and their Everett product line showed little potential for growth or profitability. Under Collett's leadership, the company has made a massive turnaround. Bob has driven manufacturing excellence to achieve profitability while expanding their customer base and product offerings. He and his team have created a totally different company in a few short years."

According to Collett, when he took the reins at Umbra, the company was delivering torque tubes and gears at a disappointing 70 percent on-time delivery record with Boeing. Within 10 months, Collett and the Umbra team were back on schedule and that "really opened eyes at Boeing," he said. "We did it through LEAN, and streamlined our processes. We looked at processes in our offices and the factory floor. LEAN is a business tool, and you have to do it throughout the organization to be effective."

Report from an aerospace supplier's open house

Apprentices at Vector Aerospace UK (Vector - http://www.vectoraerospace.com), a leading provider of aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, have showcased their skills and future potential by completing a unique engineering challenge set by the Helicopter Museum in Weston-super- Mare, UK.

The company, renowned for delivering market-leading MRO services, is one of the few in the UK to have run an effective apprenticeship scheme dating back to the 1940s when the Ministry of Defence owned the site. The current cadre, which numbers almost fifty trainees, is committed to a three year programme of structured development, underlining Vector Aerospace's commitment to the sustained development of a highly skilled workforce.

From the company's Fleetlands site in Gosport, a group of apprentices were tasked with manufacturing a horizontal tailplane unit and endplate for a Fairey Ultra-Light Helicopter. The aircraft, originally manufactured in 1955, was conceived as a low-cost, two seat reconnaissance platform but only 6 were made following the introduction of the 'Wasp'.

An enthusiast discovered one of the aircraft in the late 1960s and donated it to the helicopter museum a decade later. A global hunt for spares came up short when it came to the tailplane unit, which is when Vector Aerospace's apprentices were contacted. Without detailed plans the apprentices were forced to draw inspiration entirely from photos and anecdotal accounts in order to develop the new structure.

"This was a tremendous opportunity for the apprentices to learn first-hand many elements of aircraft MRO, utilising, developing and learning skills that will be so important in their future careers", said instructor Martin Hounsell. "Making this from scratch with no drawings is an outstanding achievement and something the training school can be rightly proud of".

Vector Aerospace annually takes on around 10 new apprentices and the unbridled success of the scheme is set to see it continue long into the future. Claire Silvester, HR Director at Vector Aerospace UK, said, "The company is immensely proud of its historic and continued investment in Britain's bright young people and given the challenging economic environment Britain faces, there has never been a more important time for UK industry to support our country's future skills base."

About Vector Aerospace Vector Aerospace is a global provider of aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services. Through facilities in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, South Africa, and Kenya Vector Aerospace provides services to commercial and military customers for gas turbine engines, components and helicopter airframes. Vector's customer-focused team includes over 2,700 motivated employees.

Apprentices Fly High at Vector Aerospace UK

NASA's Green Propellant Infusion Mission (GPIM) has been selected to test an advanced form of thermal insulation, called integrated multi-layer insulation (IMLI) that could become standard on future satellites and cryogenic subsystems. Validating this new insulation in space will help NASA build the technology required for long human spaceflight missions. Under a subcontract from Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Quest Thermal Group LLC will manufacture the new insulation that will fly aboard the 2015 GPIM mission.

High performance insulation materials are required on spacecraft and cryogenic space systems to maintain consistent spacecraft and subsystem temperatures in the space environment to keep them operating longer and more efficiently.

"Flying IMLI aboard GPIM is a win-win for the program" said Jim Oschmann, vice president and general manager for Ball's Civil Space and Technology business unit. "Conventional insulation was necessary for the GPIM spacecraft, and now we can fly a section of the IMLI at no extra cost to the program and prove it for operational use.

The new IMLI offers many benefits to conventional insulation. By utilizing rigid spacers instead of netting to separate radiation layers, it is structurally more robust, lighter and easier to install. It also has a nearly 30 percent thermal performance increase over conventional multi-layer insulation; the IMLI's increased thermal capability is critical for minimizing heat transference and boil-off of cryogenic storage systems.

The IMLI manufacturer, Quest, a small company located in Arvada, CO, is developing the technology under small business innovative research (SBIR) contracts to NASA.

"Utilizing a small business to innovate a new product and adding it to the GPIM mission demonstrates the synergy between all of the Space Technology project offices to develop and infuse technology into the market," added Oschmann. "Our collaboration on GPIM further enables NASA to demonstrate another critical technology needed to make future space missions safer, more efficient and more cost effective."

GPIM is a project for NASA's Technology Mission Demonstration (TDM) program managed by NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD). The primary purpose of the mission is to demonstrate the viability of an alternative propulsion system for spacecraft other than hydrazine by flying a "green" propulsion system on a Ball-built small satellite. Ball Aerospace, the prime contractor and principal investigator, leads a team of co-investigators including Aerojet Rocketdyne, Edwards Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) and NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC).

Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. (NYSE:BLL) supports critical missions for national agencies such as the Department of Defense, NASA, NOAA and other U.S. government and commercial entities. The company develops and manufactures spacecraft, advanced instruments and sensors, components, data exploitation systems and RF solutions for strategic, tactical and scientific applications.

Aircraft parts manufacturer B/E Aerospace is investing more than $4 million in cloud-based HR technology, as it starts to recruit more highly skilled engineers.

The company, which has gone through a rapid expansion, is rolling out HR technology from SuccessFactors to help it recruit and manage a workforce of more than 10,000 people.

The project will give the company a complete view of its workforce force for the first time and will pay for itself in less than a year, said Martin Ratelband, a director for HR at the company.

Never underestimate the business benefits. It means we are able to deliver parts to Boeing on time, then it will pay for itself very quickly, he said in an interview with Computer Weekly.

BE, which has seen its turnover quadruple to 3.4 billion over the past decade, began looking at HR technology in 2011, when it realised it was having difficulty recruiting skilled engineers and supply chain specialists.

Up until that point, the aerospace manufacturer had invested tens of millions in ERP systems to manage its finance and supply chain, but HR technology had been a low priority, said Ratelband, director for global compensation, benefits an HR Information Systems.

Securing funding from the company board was straightforward, he said. BE relies on innovation to stay ahead of its competitors, and that means having the right engineers with the right skills, he said.

We need engineers. We dont have enough, and we need to find them as soon as possible. We need to know where they are in the organisation, so we can use them [effectively]. It really is as simple as that, he said.

Managers love it. They spend a lot of time travelling and at airports, and they can get work done

For Wesco Aircraft Holdings Inc. in Valencia, it's all about making the right connections.

And those connections with customers are helping keep many of the world's civil, commercial and military aircraft safe in the air.

Wesco Aircraft manages supply chains for the aerospace industry and is one of the world's biggest sellers and distributors of aerospace parts and components.

Its more than 525,000 parts and components include fasteners, fittings, nuts, bolts, bushings, clamps, collars, pins, screws and washers. It's also an authorized distributor for just about every manufacturer of precision engineered aerospace bearings.

Lately, Wesco has been going full throttle. It posted record sales of $230.2 million for its fiscal third quarter ended June 30, an increase of 21.6% compared with the year-earlier period. Net income rose 30.6% to $29.5 million.

"During the quarter, we continued our strategy of pursuing new customers, selling new product lines to existing customers and gaining long-term relationships," said Randy J. Snyder, Wesco's chief executive.

"Contract signings and contract bid opportunities remained at a very high level, which will bode well for the future," he noted.

Snyder's father, Jack, founded the company in 1953 as a business dealing in scrap metal and hardware. Wesco wasn't focused fully on aircraft parts and components until Randy Snyder took over as chief executive in 1977. He was named chairman in 2006.

In 2006, asset management firm Carlyle Group became a majority owner. Five years later, Wesco raised $315 million in an initial public offering, selling 21 million shares at $15 each.
