AIA Teams With Embry-Riddle on New Industry Reference



The Aerospace Industries Association has agreed with the Center for Aviation and Aerospace Leadership (CAAL) at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Worldwide to jointly produce a new publication for the aviation and aerospace industry.

Aerospace Industry Report 2011, to be published this month, will provide an extensive business and market review of the U.S. aerospace industry and the global economy. A major reference resource for the industry, the book will contain analysis and statistics on key sectors of the industry and insights on emerging issues, such as rare earth minerals, strategic metals and counterfeit parts.

"Both AIA and Embry-Riddle share the goal of providing resources to enable aerospace manufacturers and service providers to become more competitive," said AIA President and CEO Marion C. Blakey. "Leveraging the resources of both our organizations in this new reference book will be an important contribution to our industry and a new chapter in AIA's role as an authoritative source of industry information."

"Embry-Riddle is delighted to partner with AIA to produce this new report," said Dr. John R. Watret, executive vice president and chief academic officer of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Worldwide. "Aerospace manufacturing is critical to the U.S. economy and both AIA and Embry-Riddle have deep roots in the industry."

The new publication merges AIA's annual Aerospace Facts & Figures, the industry standard for 57 years, with CAAL's Aerospace Economic Report and Outlook (AERO), which was introduced last year at the first annual Aviation and Aerospace Manufacturing Summit.

"This partnership will also help small- and medium-sized aerospace manufacturers, by providing them with the resources they need to become more competitive in today's global market," said retired U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Robert Mansfield, the aerospace executive in residence at CAAL. "It is important to keep in mind that these manufacturers play a key role in the U.S. aerospace industry and that the aerospace industry is critical to national defense."

Aerospace Industry Report 2011 is available online for purchase.
