Foreword
Welcome to the second joint publication of
the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA)
and the Center for Aviation & Aerospace
Leadership (CAAL) at Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University–Worldwide.
Some time ago, both organizations agreed
to share their resources to produce an Marion C. Blakey
President and Chief Executive Officer
authoritative report on the state of aero- Aerospace Industries Association
space manufacturing in the U.S. Now in its
second production, the Aerospace Industry
Report is an all-encompassing source book
designed to help business leaders, opera-
tors, and policymakers make more informed
decisions. The publication will also help
educate students—our next generation of
aerospace professionals.
This edition of the Aerospace Industry Report
includes another new set of statistical data
that quantitatively assess the industry’s
performance along with an even more
focused look at topical issues that face the John R. Watret, Ph.D.
industry. This report’s emphasis on emerg- Chancellor

ing trends is particularly important as the University–Worldwide
industry heads into what appears to be a
time of significant change.
As we deal with the challenges of sequestration and look to the future,
it is clear that we must all work together to maintain America’s lead-
ership role in the aviation and aerospace manufacturing industry. In
addition to our work with large aerospace firms and key government
iv AEROSPACE INDUSTRy REPORT 3RD EDITION
agencies, it is also clear that we must continue to promote an environ-
ment that supports small to medium-size aerospace manufacturers.
These firms, which are distributed across all 50 states, are a key source
of innovation and jobs that produce over 80 percent of the parts that
go into our aerospace systems.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Aerospace
Industries Association or the Center for Aviation & Aerospace
Leadership at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

About AIA
The Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) is the most authorita-
tive and influential trade association representing the aerospace and
defense industry. We are the leading voice for the industry on Capitol
Hill, within the administration, and internationally.
In times like these, AIA’s strong representation and advocacy is essen-
tial to protecting the interests of the nation’s aerospace and defense
industry, while helping to establish new opportunities for growth.
AIA represents nearly 380 aerospace and defense manufacturers and
suppliers. We are at the forefront of critical issues, such as advocat-
ing for robust federal budgets for aerospace and defense, a strong U.S.
industrial base, defense modernization, and an efficient acquisition
system. In addition, accelerating deployment of Next Generation Air
Transportation System technologies and equipment, modernizing export
controls, and obtaining additional resources for research and develop-
ment and space exploration are important priorities for the association.
Unlike many other associations, CEOs of our member companies and
their senior managers define and drive our agenda. We work together
to shape regulatory and legislative policies and we are a leader in
developing and publishing national aerospace standards that are used
in aerospace design and manufacturing across the globe.
The aerospace and defense industry supports and drives our nation’s
economy. It fuels innovation, creates competition, and employs
millions of Americans. We are proud to represent our members and
our nation. To learn more about AIA and the benefits of membership,
please visit www.aia-aerospace.org.

About Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University was founded in 1925, just 22
years after the Wright brothers’ first flight. Today, the University and
its graduates have built an enviable record of achievement in every
aspect of aviation and aerospace. At Embry-Riddle, our mission
is to teach the science, practice and business of aviation and aero-
space, preparing students for productive careers and leadership roles
in service around the world. The curriculum covers the operation,
engineering, research, manufacturing, marketing, and management of
modern aircraft and the systems that support them. The University
also engages in extensive research and consulting that addresses the
unique needs of aviation, aerospace, and related industries.
Residential campuses in Daytona Beach, Florida and Prescott, Arizona
provide education in a traditional setting. The residential campuses
also have over 90 instructional aircraft and offer FAA approved
programs in flight and flight dispatch. Flight programs include private,
commercial, instrument, multi-engine, flight instructor, and instrument
flight instructor ratings.
The Worldwide campus provides instruction at over 150 locations in
the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with
more than 27,000 students.
Combined annual enrollment for all three campuses is more than
34,000. Embry-Riddle now has over 100,000 alumni.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is an independent, nonsectar-
ian, not-for-profit, coeducational university that is accredited by the
Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools.
