Aerospace: Facts and Figures, 1992-1993

Abstract

in 1991, the aerospace industry reverberated to dramatic world changes that its defense systems and technology helped bring about. The dissolution of the Soviet Union, on the heels of the Persian Gulf War, showed that the national investment in defense has been sound. The growing militancy of regional powers reminds us that America will always need a strong aerospace capability. Civil aircraft and space business are taking on even greater importance now as the growth segments of aerospace. Aerospace companies are diversifying, applying skills honed in the defense market to commercial and civil government activities. They are addressing a range of new technical problems, including issues of environmental quality. Aerospace is being challenged to change, and it is in the forefront of change. Aerospace is meeting new national needs by continually advancing the technical frontiers.
