Today’s aerospace industry suppliers face immense challenges with pressure to design and deliver a flawless end product. Suppliers both large and small face a fiercely competitive, complex industry with zero room for error. Demands on OEMs are growing under shifting consumer expectations, new safety concerns and industry standards – while still on point to achieve faster time-to-market, increased transparency and effective management – all shifting more risks to the business.

Tony Velocci, former Editor in Chief of Aviation Weekly & Space Technology, has brought his 30 years of experience in aerospace and defense to develop a list of the Top 10 Challenges that OEMs face today. He addresses key questions from how to sustain a culture of innovation to how to establish a pipeline for a well-trained workforce. Velocci also explores innovative technologies such as the digital twin, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform additive manufacturing and IIoT, and how these technologies can be used for competitive advantage.
