The Aerospace Corporation Implements Partial Work Shutdown

Posted on by

The Aerospace Corporation started implementing a partial work shutdown on Oct. 3, after the Air Force's Space and Missile Systems Center directed Aerospace to stop work immediately on all but excepted mission-critical tasks.

The number of technical and support staff impacted by the stop work order is about 2,000, which is almost 60 percent of Aerospace's total population of 3,500.

Those mission-critical tasks excluded from the stop work action include near-term activities in launch operations and support, resolution of on-orbit anomalies, and execution of ongoing satellite flight operations.

"In the face of this challenge, Aerospace will continue to serve our customers by performing valuable work," said Aerospace President and CEO Dr. Wanda Austin.

The Aerospace Corporation is a California nonprofit corporation that operates a federally funded research and development center and has almost 3,500 employees. It provides technical guidance and advice on all aspects of space missions to military, civil, and commercial customers to assure space mission success. The Aerospace Corporation is headquartered in El Segundo, Calif., with multiple locations across the United States.

Aerospace race is real, state leaders warn

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

EVERETT -- Matt Yerbic is bullish on aerospace in Washington, but that has not deterred people in other states from courting one of the owners of Everett-based Aviation Technical Services.

And the offers are pretty darn good.

"They say we will build you a building for nothing, we will train your workers for nothing," said Yerbic, the firm's chief executive officer, at the Governor's Aerospace Summit Wednesday at Comcast Arena.

The 1,200 workers of ATS repair, maintain and overhaul jetliners at Paine Field and in Moses Lake.

"Every single region of the country is knocking on doors like ours to say, 'Think about us,'" he said. "What we have seen, we were a little bit taken aback by."

Other states and regions are aggressive, Yerbic surmised, because they want what Washington has: an industry of 1,350 companies in 36 of the state's 39 counties employing 132,500 people. Collectively, the industry accounted for 11 percent of gross business income in Washington in 2012, according to a statewide analysis released Tuesday.

Yerbic's comments didn't surprise anyone. Rather, he was one of many during the two-day conference who called for Washington's elected leaders to realize that the state must compete or risk seeing companies depart. Not the least of those firms is the Boeing Co., which could, many fear, choose another state in which to design and build the next generation of the popular 777.

DuPont Launches DuPont(TM) Nomex(R) XF for Aerospace Industry

Posted on by

RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 3, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - DuPont today announced the launch of DuPont(TM) Nomex(R) XF, a unique solution for flame barrier applications in the aerospace industry, as part of a focus on protecting people. Nomex(R) XF is a novel material that helps protect aluminum fuselage aircraft by providing a robust, durable and lightweight flame barrier that can help prevent outside fire from penetrating an aircraft cabin, allowing passengers additional time to escape such a hazard. It also can help prevent flame propagation so that aircraft insulation will not spread fire.

"DuPont has a long history of delivering innovations to support the aerospace industry," said Marc Doyle, president, DuPont Protection Technologies. "DuPont(TM) Kevlar(R) and Nomex(R) fiber have been successfully used by the aerospace industry for more than 40 years and Nomex(R) XF is the latest step in our commitment to protecting commercial aircraft and their passengers. This novel material addresses an important industry need and shows how a collaborative effort can help bring innovative solutions to the market."

Developed in response to customer needs, Nomex(R) XF was designed for use in commercial aircraft and can be readily incorporated into designs compliant with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) 25.853 and 25.856. It is intended for use in applications that require flame resistance up to 1,100 degrees Celsius (2,000 degrees Fahrenheit). The Nomex(R) XF flame barrier offers flexible, thin and very lightweight protection and can be incorporated into thermal acoustic insulation constructions; it has no flame penetration after 10 minutes exposure, more than doubling the burnthrough time requirements of FAR 25.856(b).

Nomex(R) fiber has been in thermal protection around the world for more than 40 years and DuPont is a leading provider of lightweight and flame resistant solutions to the global aerospace industry. Honeycomb composites made of Nomex(R) and Kevlar(R) can be found in aircraft parts such as flooring panels, interior walls, storage bins, leading and trailing edges on wings, control surfaces, fairings, engine nacelles and many more parts. Their excellent strength-to-weight ratio has provided manufacturers with vital cost-effective benefits such as energy savings, payload increases and has proven to be a leading weight-saving solution for the aerospace industry.

DuPont (DD) has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. The company believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, NGOs, and thought leaders we can help find solutions to such global challenges as providing enough healthy food for people everywhere, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment.
