WALLINGFORD An aerospace manufacturing company plans to open a new facility on Research Parkway.

GKN Aerospace, an international company that produces aerospace components for commercial and military consumers, is opening a new plant in a former warehouse at 14 Research Parkway, a company spokesperson confirmed Friday.

The Wallingford facility will be an extension of the companys existing plant in Cromwell. The company also has locations in Manchester and Newington and is a major supplier to Pratt & Whitney.

The Research Parkway plant will produce advanced aerospace technology for the commercial and military sectors. The company spokesperson could not provide any more details about the facility or when it will open.

Tim Ryan, the towns Economic Development Specialist, said the new facility will create a sizable number of manufacturing jobs, benefiting the local economy.

I dont think its an understatement to say were thrilled that a company as solid as GKN has chosen Wallingford for its most recent expansion, Ryan said. Economies that create things have a higher level of sustainability in the long run.

GKN Aerospace has over two dozen manufacturing sites in America.

The Wallingford facility will be opened in a warehouse previously used as a paper distribution center by Lindenmeyr Munroe. The property is roughly 70,000 square feet and has an assessed value of $2.8 million.

According to recent building permits, the company spent $15,000 on mechanical equipment and $20,000 on a data room for the Research Parkway facility earlier this year.

The Research Parkway plant will open one mile away from the Bristol Myers Squibbs facility at 5 Research Parkway. Bristol-Myers is leaving Connecticut by 2018 as part of a nationwide restructuring of its operations.

Airframer - aerospace company news

Air Force Research Laboratory materials engineer Alan Fletcher has been honored with SAE Internationals Franklin W. Kolk Air Transportation Progress Award for his contributions and leadership within the aerospace community.

Fletcher, who serves as a principal materials engineer in the Materials and Manufacturing Directorates System Support division, is an international expert in elastomers and a lead for elastomeric test and evaluation efforts. He is the industry leader for aerospace sealants and fluid seals and advances technical efforts in the development and sustainment of specialized aircraft coatings.

Fletcher has long been an advocate for the establishment and improvement of aerospace industry technical standards and specifications. Throughout much of his career, he has contributed toward efforts to convert military sealant, elastomer and coating specifications to SAE industry standards.

Consistent industry standards are the key to safe and reliable products, said Fletcher. They guarantee that a product functions reliably, which in turn inspires user confidence for both the military and the commercial sector.

To promote and achieve this vision, Fletcher has filled a number of leadership roles within SAE International. He has been a leader in the Materials Standards Committees since 1989, and a chair of the Aerospace Sealants G-9 Committee since 1990. He also played an integral role in the formation of the Organic Coatings G-8 Committee and headed the CE Elastomers Committee. He currently serves as the SAE Aerospace Systems chair, a role he has held since 2005.

Additionally, Fletcher was an originator of the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program, now known as Nadcap. This industry-based group has been at the forefront of processes and quality assurance standardization, reducing unnecessary and redundant audits and saving aerospace original equipment manufacturers valuable time and money. Since its establishment, Nadcap has expanded its scope to include many other commodities and currently flourishes worldwide.

Over the years, Fletcher has received numerous awards for his professional efforts, including the Air Force Chief of Staff Excellence Award, the Defense Outstanding Performance Award, the Nadcap Leadership Award and the SAE Chair Award.

Fletcher was also commended personally with the Command Civilian Award for Valor for acts of bravery in preventing harm to a fellow citizen.

Fletcher said that receiving the Kolk award is a tremendous honor.

The SAEs work toward establishing aerospace standards and practices that guide the aerospace industry has been and continues to be incredibly important to both military and commercial material applications, said Fletcher. Its wonderful to be part of this ongoing effort and very humbling to be selected for this award.

The Franklin W. Kolk Air Transportation Progress Award was established in 1978 to recognize individuals for outstanding contributions to air transportation as well as to aerospace technical committees in developing aerospace standards, specifications, technical reports and data through cooperative research.

Fletcher will be presented the award Sept.27 at the SAE 2017 AeroTech Congress & Exhibition in Fort Worth, Texas.

Elastomers expert honored for work on aerospace standards - Dayton Daily News

Huntsville-based Dynetics Inc. is moving forward on a $14.2 million aerospace testing facility near Decatur after winning a lucrative NASA contract.

Dynetics announced it has secured the $221 million contract to design, manufacture, test and assemble the universal stage adapter that will join the Orion space capsule to its exploration upper stage slated to fly in the 2020s.

The adapter, which will provide structural, electrical and communications paths between the capsule and the explorer stage, will be manufactured and tested in Huntsville and at the new Dynetics Aerospace Structures Complex to be built on United Launch Alliance property.

Dynetics plans to break ground on the aerospace testing facility this summer with a target completion date in 2019, according to an official statement.

News of the test facility first emerged when the Decatur Industrial Development Board voted 4-1 in March to abate $195,341 in non-educational state and county property taxes over a 10-year period and an estimated $261,000 in state and city sales taxes during the construction period.

The facilitys 100-foot-tall building will be used to test launch vehicles and large aerospace structures.

The facilityis expected to initially bring about 10 jobs to the area with an average annual salary of $80,000.

However, Mike Graves, space vehicles department manager for Dynetics, said in March that Dynetics hopes to expand in Decatur, adding other buildings and more jobs within about a year.

The universal stage adapter also will involve another company that is setting up shop at ULAs plant on Red Hat Road. Dynetics said some of the production would take place at RUAG Space USAs new facility at ULA.

That $30.6 million facility, which is taking over 130,000 square feet of ULA floor space, is operational but still ramping up production with full production capacity expected by January.

RUAG Aerospace, a Switzerland-based company that has provided ULA with composite rocket components for years, announced plans in 2015 to locate a manufacturing operation at ULAs plant.

The companys composite payload fairings serve as the drag-reducing nose cones for ULAs Atlas V launch system, and RUAG is slated to produce similar components for ULAs larger Vulcan launch system set for a maiden flight in 2019.

RUAG is expected to bring 100 jobs to the facility by 2019 and 150 jobs by 2020 with an average annual salary of $100,000.

To help lure that project, the Decatur Industrial Development Board abated $980,000 in state and county property taxes over a 10-year period, the Alabama Industrial Development Initiative agreed to provide $1.2 million worth of pre-employment training, and the state of Alabama agreed to a $650,000 discretionary incentive.

Dynetics announcement comes as local officials strive to lure more aerospace companies, which are more often associated with Huntsville, to Decatur and Morgan County.

Aerospace has been and will continue to be one of our targets. Each new announcement helps our marketing efforts when trying to attract new prospective companies, said Jeremy Nails, president of the Morgan County Economic Development Association.

Morgan County Commission Chairman Ray Long said it gives local development officials more leverage when it comes to luring other aerospace companies.

Asked what the influx of aerospace means for the countys legacy manufacturing companies, Nails said many of them are high-tech manufacturers, too.

They have to be to remain competitive, he said.

He also said the aerospace influx helps diversify the local economy.

Dynetics to build aerospace facility in Morgan County - The Decatur Daily

Amelia shows us an enrichment program- with classes such as Aerospace Adventure-that provides a more effective school experience and increases student motivation to achieve in school, graduate, and lead fulfilling lives.

Amelia Earhart, KUSA 10:37 AM. MDT June 09, 2017

The Grant Beacon Aerospace Adventure class is helping middle school students take flight through STEM focused training courses both in the classroom and at Centennial Airport. Liz Kailey leads the program and describes her experience, procedures and goals:

I became involved in Grant Beacon Middle School when my son attended as a 6th grader. One of the reasons that I wanted my son to be a student at Grant was the schools enrichment program, which introduced kids to a wide variety of subjects, ranging from dance to photography to science.

At that time, the enrichment classes took place once a week and I volunteered my time to teach an aviation class. The staff at Grant was tireless in working toward becoming a Denver Public School innovation school and the enrichment program was expanded to 4 days a week as part of an extended learning day. I was asked to be part of the innovation team and soon I expanded and enhanced my class to encompass the space industry as well.

For five years, I have taught the Aerospace Adventure enrichment class two days a week in four, eight-to-ten week sessions during the school year. In the class, the students build rubber band-powered balsa wood airplanes and Estes model rockets that launch 200 feet in the air.

Along the way, students explore aviation and space history, learn how to use tools, materials, and instructions to construct working airplanes and rockets, and apply STEM topics, such as math and physics to real-world situations. We also take a field trip to the airport where students observe takeoffs and landings and sit in the cockpit of a training airplane and of a jet to see how the controls and equipment work.

For most students, this class is their first exposure to aerospace. By participating in the enrichment classes, students:

1. Are exposed to new subjects to which they typically do not have access. Over 80% of Grant students qualify for free or reduced lunchmany do not have opportunities outside of school to experience subjects, such as aerospace.

2. Learn skills, such as teamwork, communication, and buildingthey achieve a sense of accomplishment and ownership when the airplanes they constructed fly or their rockets launch.

3. Have an opportunity to discover something that they have a passion fora topic that motivates them to come to school and that might lead to a future career or hobby.

And discover how the subjects they learn in school, such as history, math, and science apply to the real world and how doing well in school can lead to exciting opportunities in fields such as aviation or space exploration.

4. Realize that there can be joy in learning for learnings sakenot necessarily to complete an assignment or prepare for a testbut to expand their horizons and enrich their lives.

I believe that the enrichment program with classes such as Aerospace Adventureprovides a more effective school experience and increases student motivation to achieve in school, graduate, and lead fulfilling lives.

Don Erickson, site manager ofLockheed Martin's Greenville facility, will address the South Carolina Aerospace Convention and Expo in Columbia in August.

The third annual conference will be held Aug. 29 to 31at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center.

Erickson will talk specificallyabout Lockheed's planned move of F-16 fighter jet production to Greenville from the company's Fort Worth, Texas plant. Hewill go over the timeline of when production is expected to start in Greenville and the details associated with the move.

In March, officials confirmed Lockheed Martinwill transition F-16 production to itsGreenville facility at the South Carolina Technology and Aviation Center, or SCTAC. Leslie Farmer, spokesperson for Lockheed's Greenville operations, toldThe Greenville Newsthelast F-16 from the Forth Worth plant will be delivered in September, and it will take about two years for the company to get production going at its Greenville.

Employees at the Fort Worth familiar will transition into production of theF-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

Erickson said some pieces of the F-16 production transition have already started, while renovations of the existinghangar are ongoing.

Lockheed already employs about 500 people at its Greenville facility. Erickson said the F-16 production shift could initially add between 180 and200 people, but there are potential opportunities to add more.

Asked whether Lockheed Martin supplier companies could shift their work from Fort Worth to Greenville: Erickson said there is a possibility down the road.

"There's a lot out there. The F-16 is certainly an excellent aircraft and very affordable," he said. "As we get the opportunity to build more, some of the suppliers could see it as advantageous to move a little bit closer."

Last year at the convention, Erickson spoke about Lockheed's T-50A trainer jet, part of an ongoing battle to wina $8 billion to $10 billioncontract to build a new training jet for the U.S. Air Force.

The Air Force is expected to make a decision on that by early 2018.

In August, Erickson will be joined by other speakers, that includeJoan Robinson-Berry, Vice President and general manager of Boeing in South Carolina, andUniversity of South Carolina Provost Joan Gabel.

"It'salways good to get together with aerospace partners in South Carolina," Erickson said. "Ithink it'sgreat forum foreveryone to glean amore knowledge and share information."

Lockheed's Don Erickson to address SC Aerospace Convention in Columbia - Greenville News

On June 19th, one of the world largest and most prestigious air shows will open at the Le Bourget airfield outside Paris. This is an event that the aerospace world attends, one which private companies and governments both employ as a stage to showcase some of their best products and impressive capabilities. European companies, in particular, are fond of using the Paris Air Show to launch major new platforms. In addition, it has become quite common for aircraft manufacturers to announce major sales during the show.

Historically, the biennial Paris Air Show has provided a snapshot of the state of aerospace industries around the world. Particularly during the Cold War but even afterwards in times of increased international tensions, the major military powers used this venue to send messages regarding their abilities in the air and space domains. This year is likely to be no different.

It is noteworthy, therefore, that the U.S. Air Force, after some initial hesitancy, decided to allow two F-35A Joint Strike Fighters (JSF) to conduct a flight demonstration at the show. This is not the first time that U.S. F-35s have appeared in European air space. The Marine Corp F-35B, the short takeoff and vertical landing variant, participated in the 2016 Farnborough International Airshow. Earlier this year, eight F-35As conducted the first joint training deployment in the United Kingdom. These aircraft also made politically-important visits to both Estonia and Bulgaria.

Nevertheless, this planned F-35A flight demonstration is important on several levels. It is part of a concerted effort by the U.S. government to underscore its commitment to the security of Europe. It sends a message to friends and foes that the U.S. military leads the world in the development and deployment of fifth-generation aircraft. Visits to the United Kingdom and France also serve as reminders that the JSF is an international fighter and that seven NATO members invested their money in the program. In fact, these allies are planning to acquire several hundred F-35s. Finally, the flight demonstration will underscore the fact that virtually all of the JSFs teething problems are behind it.

The F-35 will not be going to Le Bourget alone. The Department of Defense will send many of its top-of-the-line aircraft and helicopters to Paris including the P-8A anti-submarine aircraft, the C-130J transport, the V-22 Osprey, AH-64 Apache and the CH-47 Chinook heavy-lift helicopter. These are among the best military aircraft in the world which is reflected in the continuing demand for them by friends and allies. In addition, the Textron/Airland team is sending its Scorpion, a light attack/intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance jet aircraft, to Le Bourget.

On the commercial side, Boeing is sending both its 737 MAX 9 and 787-10 Dreamliner flight test airplanes along with enhanced versions of its popular aircraft to the air show. Other U.S. companies that will provide display versions of their products include Gulfstream and Bell Helicopters.

Even the appearance at Le Bourget of non-U.S. commercial aircraft can say something important about the state of this countrys aerospace industry. The Canadian Company Bombardier, which debuts its C Series passenger jet at the 2015 air show, will be back looking for additional sales. Embraer, Brazils major aircraft producer, used the last air show to unveil its E-Jet E2 family of narrow-body, medium range commercial aircraft. It is reported that this year Airbus will publically fly for the first time its new A321neo, one of several variants in the family.

What these aircraft programs have in common is that they all are powered by Pratt & Whitneys advanced geared turbofan engine (GTF). The GTF also is on A320neos operated by numerous airlines and will power hundreds more that are on order. This engine provides a substantial improvement over those presently in service in terms of fuel use, noise level, emissions and operating costs.

The GTF has experienced some problems with respect to the reliability of specific components. Pratt & Whitney is taking steps to deal with these issues, which are not uncommon for new aviation products. Given the companys past successes in troubleshooting its products, including its development of a rapid solution to a fan blade rubbing problem with the F-35s engine, it is likely that GTFs problems will be solved.

Like the 51 air shows that have come before, the 2017 event will be a testament to the technological progress that continues to be made in the aerospace sector. It also will speak to the importance of the U.S. and its allies continuing to invest in aerospace capabilities that will ensure its military superiority over any potential adversaries.

MOSCOW, June 8. /TASS/. The Titov Center of Russias Aerospace Force has taken the Briz booster from the designated orbit of the Echostar-21 satellite to a dump orbit, the Defense Ministry has told the media.

The US telecommunication satellite Echostar-21 was put in space on Thursday morning from the Baikonur space site in Kazakhstan with a Proton-M rocket, which blasted off at 06:45 Moscow time. The satellite entered the designated orbit nine hours and 13 minutes later.

"To remove the Briz-M booster from Echostar-21s orbit the engines were turned on twice. The booster was pushed into an orbit of about 2,000 kilometers at perigee and about 35,000 kilometers at apogee," the Defense Ministry said.

"Once the Briz-M booster was taken to a dump orbit the Aerospace Forces Space Control Center started analyzing and processing information concerning other space objects.

The booster and the satellite will be monitored by the chief center for space situation reconnaissance of Russias Aerospace Force.

With $4.52 in dividends paid over the past 12 months, a single SPDR S&P Depositary Receipt (NYSEMKT:SPY) currently yields 1.9%. That's probably more money than your bank will pay you on your savings account-- but it's still not a lot of money. So can you do better?

Historically, Aerospace & Defense has been a great place for investors seeking consistent, above-average dividend payments. Lately, however, it's become harder to find above-market dividends even in aerospace. This is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, dividend yields are calculated by dividing a company's dividend payment by its stock price. Thus, when dividend yields fall, it's often the case that this is because stock prices have risen -- and this has been the case in aerospace.

The sky's the limit for some of these aerospace dividends. Image source: Getty Images.

Still, it does pose a problem for investors who want to own a piece of the booming aerospace industry, but who also want to be paid for their investments in the form of steady dividend income. To help you with that, I've scanned the industry and culled the below-average dividend payers, emerging with a handful of top aerospace stock ideas that just happen to pay above-average dividends as well.

Here are my top five prospects, listed in order of dividend attractiveness.

General Electric

Data sources: S&P Global Market Intelligence, Yahoo! Finance.

With every passing quarter, it seems General Electric (NYSE:GE) is pulling farther away from its historical roots, and focusing more on remaking its business as a provider of heavy equipment to the power and fuel extraction industries. But despite all the changes, one thing remains constant: GE is still an important provider of airplane engines to the aerospace industry.

Last year, GE's Aviation divisiongenerated sales of $26.3 billion, making it GE's second biggest business after Power. And with pre-tax profits of $6.1 billion, Aviation is already easily GE's most profitable business -- and likely to become more so. Over the past five years, GE has grown Aviation sales 39%, and Aviation profits nearly twice as much -- up 74%. GE Aviation's strength is one reason General Electric boasts the second strongest earnings growth rate of any company on this list. And so long as things continuing going well in the booming aerospace industry, GE's sector-leading dividend yield of 3.5% should remain secure.

U.S. investors may be less familiar with my second aerospace dividend stock, London-listed BAE Systems (NASDAQOTH:BAESY) -- but they might want to get acquainted with it. One of the UK's biggest military contractors, BAE Systems builds Typhoon fighter jets and British warships, armored personnel carriers and military electronics. (Its breadth of products and services makes it look a little bit like a British version of Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT).)

BAE also pays a big dividend, albeit not quite as big as GE's -- 3.2%. With a payout ratio of only 73%, though, BAE also has more room to grow its dividend checks if it so chooses. Top it all off it has a lower valuation on a price to earnings (P/E) ratio basis than GE's. BAE may be worth a look for investors seeking a bit of international flavor in their dividend portfolios.

Next up: Boeing (NYSE:BA). The biggest name in commercial aircraft and the fastest at growing profits -- based on estimates -- on this list, Boeing's a name that will be familiar to any investor in the aerospace sector. One-half of a global airplane-building duopoly (with Airbus (NASDAQOTH:EADSY), whose 1.8% dividend yield is too tiny to make this list), Boeing sells $95.6 billion worth of airplanes and other products and services in a year -- 27% more than Airbus. What's more, with trailing net profits of $5.1 billion, Boeing is much more profitable than Airbus -- more than one full order of magnitude greater.

Boeing's business spans the full range of aircraft, from civilian airliners to commercial freighters to military fighter jets and auxiliary aircraft, bringing it into direct competition with ...

Easily America's biggest pure-play defense company, Lockheed Martin does $48 billion worth of business annually. Its most famous product today is the F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet, a plane destined to become the most ubiquitous fifth-generation fighter on the planet -- much like Lockheed's F-16 is currently the most popular fourth-generation fighter in the world.

So what does the F-35 mean for Lockheed Martin as a stock, and as a source of steady dividend income? The U.S. Air Force expects to still be flying F-35s well into the 2070s-- more than 50 years from now -- and analysts believe this single program could come to be responsible for generating as much as 50% of Lockheed Martin's annual sales. Assuming that's how things play out, Lockheed's dividend should be safe for decades to come.

Last but not least, we come to United Technologies -- incidentally, the manufacturer of the F135 jet engine that powers Lockheed Martin's F-35, and a beneficiary of multiple billion dollar contracts for that engine's production. A diversified industrial supplier, United Technologies derives $14.9 billion a year in revenues from its Pratt & Whitney engines business, and a further $14.5 billion from its complementary Aerospace Systems division. Respectively United Tech's second and third largest divisions, these two businesses account for well over 50% of the company's business.

That said, United Technologies' two aerospace divisions only produce about 44% of the company's profits. They're part of the reason (one imagines) that United Tech is only able to ante up 2.2% in annual dividend payments -- and part of the reason that with growth estimates of less than 7%, United Tech is the slowest grower on this list.

Which of these stocks should a dividend-hungry investor buy? That's a choice to be made based as much on what these companies are paying today, as on what they might pay tomorrow. (In which regard, lower payout ratios leave more room for expanding dividends -- but faster growth rates may be even more important, by foreshadowing more profits becoming available for paying out as dividends in the future).

Opinions may differ here. But personally, I think Boeing stock offers the best combination of a good current dividend yield, moderate room for improvement in the payout ratio, and strong earnings growth to support richer dividends in the future.

Elite Aerospace Group Acquires HALO Industries - PR Newswire - PR Newswire (press release)

PARISThe Paris Air Show comes at a timely juncture as French aerospace leaders seek to lobby a newly elected head of state and government for support of the high-tech industry in a tough world market.

We have a new government and new ministers, said Eric Trappier, vice chairman of Groupement des Industries Franaises Aronautiques et Spatiales, or Gifas, the trade body backing the air show. It is for us a very special time to address the new government and, above all, the new president, he told a June 6 news conference.

French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to visit June 19, the first day of the show, while Prime Minister Edouard Philippe is due June 23. Some 12 ministers are expected, including Sylvie Goulard, the armed forces minister, and Jean-Yves Le Drian, Europe and foreign affairs minister. The latter was the previous defense minister and was widely seen as the super salesman for the Rafale fighter jet, helping to win orders from Egypt, India and Qatar.

There is plenty of government support in the U.S. and other countries for their own aerospace industries, Trappier said. For France, one of the key factors is whether the government will boost the defense budget to 2 percent of gross domestic product by 2022, he added.

Political backing is viewed as a necessity, as the Ministry for the Economy and Finance has reportedly lopped off more than 2.6 billion (U.S. $2.9 billion) from the 2017 defense budget, prompting protest from Patricia Adam, head of the National Assembly's defense committee.

The members of parliament adopted on April 6, 2016, a 700 million increase for the 2017 defense budget, particularly to support equipment spending, she said in a June 6, 2017, statement. A budget cut would threaten our defense and security in a time of severe strategic instability and terrorist threat, she said.

The largest cut in the budgetary reduction is 675 million for equipment, business website La Tribune reported.

At the show, the French procurement office, Direction Gnrale de lArmement, will display the future of weapon systems from 2017 to 2022, including the Talios laser targeting pod and Meteor long-range, air-to-air missile for the upgraded Rafale F3-R, said DGA official Thierry Sanchez. Other themes include command systems, refueling, intelligence gathering and surface-to-air defense.

There will also be a display of systems beyond 2025, with an immersion in studies for future weapons, pointing up the cooperative work between government and industry. Innovative technology to be shown include intelligent sensors, artificial intelligence, and virtual and augmented reality.

On display, there will be two Rafalesone from the Air Force and one from the Navya Tiger attack helicopter, an NH90 transport helicopter and a special forces Caracal.

French Air Force pilots dont rest, said Trappier, sparking much laughter at the news conference.

An Antonov An-132 military transport plane from Ukraine will make its first appearance at the show, as will the Embraer KC-390 and Kawasaki P-1 maritime patrol aircraft.

U.S. companies make up the second-largest regional presence at the show, with 15.21 percent of the exhibitors, after 57.21 percent from Europe. The third-largest region is East Asia, with 8.5 percent. Russian firms account for 3.48 percent. French companies make up about half of the total 2,370 exhibitors.

The Paris Air Show charges the lowest rate among world exhibitions, with a tariff of 355 compared to 415 at the British Farnborough International Airshow, 562 at the Dubai Airshow and 951 at the Singapore Airshow, said Gilles Fournier, the Paris Air Show's managing director.

Some 140 aircraft will be on display. France will receive 296 official delegations, including 146 military teams.

A state panel intended to bolster aerospace in Ohio will likely target workforce development and protection of military bases as top priorities, an Ohio lawmaker says.

The Ohio Aerospace and Aviation Technology Committee appointed or reappointed 14 members Tuesday to the 21-member panel for two-year terms. They represent legislative, academic, commercial and military backgrounds across the state, said Sen. Bill Beagle, R-Tipp City, committee chairman.

In the Dayton region, the panel reappointed Vincent J. Russo, past executive director of the former Aerospace Systems Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base; Ronald Shroder, president and CEO of Frontier Technology, Inc., which has an office in Beavercreek; and Terrence Slaybaugh, City of Dayton director of aviation.

Gov. John Kasich reappointed John Leland, vice president of research at the University of Dayton Research Institute.

The panel will meet to determine other key areas to target, Beagle said.

Weve taken on a number of initiatives, such as workforce development, since the committee started in 2014, he said. Were trying to identify things and potential solutions.

The state senator said he foresees two key issues staying in the forefront: Building an aerospace worker talent pipeline and finding ways to increase the value to the federal government of Ohio military installations, such as bolstering public-private partnerships.

Thats spurred in part by more and more talk about a potential new round of base closures coming from Washington, D.C., he said, noting the importance of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and other military installations to Ohio. Its also home to NASA Glenn Research Center near Cleveland.

Along with Beagle, state Rep. Rick Perales, R-Beavercreek, is one of two area legislators on the panel. Three senators and three House representatives are among the members.

The committee produces an annual report of findings and recommendations to state lawmakers on ways to bolster the aerospace industry in Ohio.

The state is the leader in aircraft engine production and is the No. 1 U.S. supplier to aerospace manufacturers Boeing and Airbus, according to JobsOhio.

State lawmaker group to focus on aviation jobs in Ohio - Dayton Daily News

JUNEAU, Alaska When most people think of Alaska, they picture its thick forests, hulking grizzly bears and soaring, snow-covered peaks.

What they might not imagine is rockets whisking defense and other payloads into space. But Americas northernmost state has that too, entering the high-tech aerospace business more than 25 years ago as it looked to diversify its oil-reliant economy.

The state-owned Alaska Aerospace Corp. hit a low point after a rocket exploded at its launch site in 2014 amid a deepening state deficit. The governor later gave it an ultimatum: Become self-sustaining or shut down.

Today, Alaska Aerospace has rebuilt its launch site and is again showing signs of liftoff. It is no longer confined to Alaska or government contracts, recently winning, for example, a deal with Rocket Lab to track the companys rockets and monitor its onboard systems in New Zealand.

Gov. Bill Walker said he is impressed by the corporations aggressive pursuit of contracts and its transformation. His budget office recently freed $2.2 million in state money previously earmarked for the corporation for launch site improvements.

Two years ago, we had a failed rocket, and we had a destroyed facility, and we had no customers, Alaska Aerospace CEO Craig Campbell said. Weve turned the corner.

Alaska sought to develop its aerospace sector in 1991 as states and private organizations were looking to capture a piece of a space industry that had once been the domain of NASA.

Alaska Aerospace now runs one of 10 commercial launch sites in the U.S. that are regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration. Some are co-located with federal facilities or have buzzy partnerships. The anchor tenant at New Mexicos state-owned Spaceport America is Virgin Galactic.

Campbell is tight-lipped about some of the business at Alaska Aerospaces launch site on Kodiak Island about 250 air miles southwest of Anchorage in the Gulf of Alaska because of proprietary concerns. But the remote site is well-positioned for polar launches, which often are used for communication and weather satellites and those that take images of Earth.

An advantage Alaska has over major launch sites is a lack of wait times, said Micah Walter-Range, research and analysis director for the Space Foundation, a space advocacy organization. A boom in smaller satellites tied to cheaper hardware components and other factors also presents opportunity, he said.

The corporation launched its first rocket in 1998. It had another 16 launches through 2014, when a rocket carrying an experimental Army strike weapon was blown up after taking off from Kodiak Island. All of the launches it conducted were for the federal government, including NASA.

The blast, which damaged launch site facilities, proved pivotal, coinciding with a ballooning state deficit and a diminished appetite among some Alaska legislators to put more state funding toward what some at that time saw as a money-sucking novelty.

Besides rebuilding its launch site, Alaska Aerospace opened an office in Alabama to try to better compete for aerospace business and landed a multiyear contract, worth up to $80 million, with the federal Missile Defense Agency to test its system for detecting incoming missiles.

In addition, the corporation is evaluating building a second launch site closer to the equator so it can handle a wider range of satellites. Campbell called equatorial launches the predominate orbit to meet the majority of the Earths population.

Still, Alaska Aerospace remains at a critical juncture, with several launches lined up for this year and next and high hopes for becoming more profitable and further establishing itself in the industry.

Campbells goal is to have at least six launches a year. So far this year, he expects two as part of the Missile Defense testing program and one involving a company working on a small rocket. He declined to identify the company.

The corporation has 16 staff, down from 44 when Campbell took over. It also has a contingency of about 14 contractors, many of whom are former corporation employees, he said.

State Rep. Louise Stutes, a Kodiak Republican, said an influx of activity surrounding a launch boosts the regions economy, though she noted the need to at times close roads for activities at the site has rankled some residents. About 13,500 people live in the Kodiak Island Borough.

Alaska aerospace business has high hopes for future - The Columbian

According to the consultancy MarketsandMarkets, aerospace firms will be using additive manufacturing (AM) to make more than $3 billion in parts by 2022, up from a bit over $700 million in 2017. Aerospace and AM have a mutually beneficial relationship. Aerospace firms often have the rigorous requirements in weight and performance and make the small volumes that AM is best suited for, so encourage AM development. AM in turn helps OEMs make much better products, boosting the sectors growth.

But AM, also called 3D printing, is still young, and engineers have a lot to learn about the new process. In a webinar presented by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Denis Cormier, professor of industrial and systems engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology, explained some basics.

Powder-bed laser printing systems are the majority of machines used now, but all the different laser and electron beam systems have their particular uses, Cormier advised. Each machine maker provides a guide for designing parts to be made with its AM process, including the surface roughness and ribbing to expect and orientation of support structures. Surface finish is much better now, but you are not getting a machined surface yet, Cormier said.

AM of lattice structures is increasingly popular, both to reduce weight and create heat sinks. The struts in AM lattices can be as small as a half millimeter and generally should not be smooth. But Cormier warned that the software code required for lattices can be astronomically large, and not every designers PC could handle it. However, some machine-makers are starting to enable trickle feed of code, like that used on computer numerically control machines.

Part unitization, or the combination of many small parts into an AM one, is another popular trend, as evidenced by the GE LEAP engines fuel nozzle. You can throw the DFM [Design for Manufacturing] guidelines out the window, Cormier joked. There is no problem getting the part out of a mold.

But very complex unitized parts may pose problems in getting extra powder out of internal channels. Most laser machines will allow powder to be jiggled out, but removal is tougher with electronic beam machines. Generally, if a liquid or gas is to flow through the internal channel, surface roughness is good. But for laminar flows of parallel layers, finishing the rough surfaces may be desirable.

AM can print exceedingly complex parts that may replace up to 20 parts made by conventional methods. But engineers must remember the surfaces that will have to be finished and seek to make this easier, for example by making unitized parts easy to hold in vises.

One big trend in AM is toward larger parts, up to 1-2 meters for laser powder bed or electronic beam processes. But the cost of metal powder can be a challenge for large parts, Cormier warned. A machine may have up to $100,000 worth of powder in it before it begins to make a large part. AM processes that use wire-feed may economize on bigger parts.

Another trend is toward simulation-based design. This can help engineers achieve uniform heating for uniform microstructure before parts are expensively printed. And OEMs are building machines with sensors and cameras that can measure the temperature of the powder beds to improve control.

The other trend, or wish, is for less expensive powders. Cormier hopes that competition will drive powder cost down or that wire and other feedstocks will come more cheaply. That would certainly spur adoption in aerospace and other industries.

For the moment though, most AM machine makers continue to require their own proprietary powders be used in their machines. Thats expensive, but may be necessary for a while longer to ensure quality results, especially in safety-critical aerospace uses.

Additive Manufacturing Design Tips For Aerospace - Aviation Week

Students at the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine routinely use an altitude hypobaric chamber at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, which simulates a flight at 25,000 feet, as part of initial aerospace physiological training.

1st Lt. Alex Medina, U.S. Air Force Space, Missiles, and Forces Intelligence group executive officer, is one of those students. After 30 minutes of pre-breathing 100 percent oxygen, during his training he took his mask off and quickly felt the effect of lack of air due to the decrease in barometric pressure.

The hypoxic effects began much quicker than I had anticipated and felt very similar to feeling overly intoxicated, Medina said.

When there is a loss of cabin pressure, aircrew and passengers experience hypoxia oxygen deprivation which the most dangerous aspect of flying at altitude, said Senior Master Sgt. Johal Mandeep, USAFSAM Aerospace and Operational Physiology Division superintendent .

The purpose of initial aerospace physiological training is to help aircrew and operational personnel flying in aircraft understand the hazards of high altitude flight and the physiological effects of low barometric pressure.

Wright Patterson marks 100 years of aviation achievement

When we put students in the chamber theyre accompanied by two to three chamber technicians as safety observers; we are all trained to treat any issues that could occur during the flight, Mandeep said.

As the barometric pressure drops , instructors give students a few puzzles, short-answer questions and simple math problems to solve.

I was able to do the first three tasks fairly quickly, but then quickly became very dizzy Medina said. I tried to work through it, but the simple math problems were increasingly difficult, due to the onset of mental confusion.

I skipped around on the page to accomplish other questions/puzzles that were easier to comprehend but then felt very hot and decided to call it quits. Medina said. I dont think I made it past 60 seconds.

Every year USAFSAM train s about 1,300 students in the two-day, Air Force-required training, which includes academics and a chamber flight.

I believe the most valuable experience about the training is to give our students basic information on the hazards of low barometric pressure in-flight and to be able to physically experience the effects of hypoxia so they can identify it and treat if it occurs in-flight, Mandeep said.
