The market segmentation is based on multiple criteria including airlines, airframe and engine OEMs, aircraft types, aircraft models, modifications, as well as the type of MRO maintenance. This research highlights market trends along with technolog...

Technically, composite material has been used in aviation throughout its history. Currently, high-tech composites are on the rise. Over the last decade, the commercial aerospace sector has had two carbon fiber composite aircraft introduced. The Boeing Company delivered the 787 Dreamliner, with Airbus quickly following suite with its new A350 XWB. ...

Auxiliary power units (APUs) are no longer an option on commercial aircraft like they were a few decades ago - they have become a standard. APUs' on-the-ground services include the provision of pneumatic power and electrical energy. A/C pack operation, the powering of self-contained generators within a craft, and emergency system activation - APUs ...

Frost & Sullivan published a Market Engineering analysis on the civil helicopters market in October 2014. This research service provides an update on the market forecasts, especially in light of the changes that have occurred in market projections since the prices of oil and gas have fallen, which has altered demand for heavy and twin medium helico...

The study covers 3 different segmentscommercial, business, and general aviationacross the industry either as a primary application or as a secondary application. It provides the basic definitions, key drivers and restraints, and the challenges faced by the fuel cells market. The study also includes various prototypes as case studies, detailing c...

In the typical aircraft environmental control systems (ECS), the bleed air is cooled by air from the aircraft slipstream and then enters a compressor, which boosts the turbine inlet pressure to increase the temperature drop. Air leaving the compressor is cooled to eliminate the excess moisture before entering the turbine. Cold air from the turbine ...

The reports of the death of global distribution systems (GDS) have been greatly exaggerated. Several industry analysts believed that GDS would not last long and that airlines would eventually shy away from them. However, the expansion of technologies and the realization of how valuable consumer data can be have given new life to GDS. The enclosed i...

After highlighting additive manufacturing (AM) as one of the most important technological trends in aerospace and defence, Frost and Sullivan attended the Additive Manufacturing for Defence and Aerospace summit in London in February 2015. The first conclusion arrived at based on the summit is additive manufacturing is drawing a lot of attention. In...
