A global perspective of the Space Industry, covering both the core upstream and downstream segments of launch services, satellite manufacturing, ground equipment & operations, support services and satellite services. This research also includes historical trends, current drivers and restraints, market challenges, end-user assessments, overview of ...

This research study assesses the world market for commercial satellite communications purchased by the U.S. Government and Military. This market includes four major segments, Fixed Satellite Services, Mobile Satellite Services, System Integration and End-to-End Solutions, and Broadband and Broadcasting. Over 80% of the U.S. government and militar...

Engine manufacturers and MRO service providers are increasingly focused on engine efficiency to optimize fuel consumption and match environmental regulations on emission and noise levels.

The new-generation aircraft uses pneumatic power controls combined with electric power for environmental control, ice protection, and APU units. The hydraulic units were with a de- centralized hydraulic control. These are backup flight controls with mini-pumps driving electro-hydraulic actuators (EHA). Smaller than conventional pumps, these mini-pu...

The use of advanced flight control system reduces the weight of the aircraft. The aircraft integrators manufacturing new technology aircraft are aimed at reducing the weight of the aircraft without compromising on the efficiency of the aircraft.

Until the early 1980s all space launch activities were undertaken by government organisations, be it for commercial applications. But with the increasing demand to launch satellites into the orbit and the time taken by the government organisations, private companies were ready to pay millions of dollars to launch their satellites into the orbit.

The aircraft industry is developing the More Electric Aircraft with an ultimate goal of distributing only electrical power across the airframe. Increasing use of Electrical Power is seen as the direction of technological opportunity for aircraft power systems based on rapidly evolving advancements in power electronics, fault tolerant power distribu...

The trend in the use of high-end carbon fiber composite in commercial aircrafts is increasing than ever before. It is significant to know that in 2007 the total market value of finished composites aerospace products grew by 5% to more than US$7 billion from the previous year. Its competitive offerings, primarily high strength to weight ratio has i...

Prospects for alternate fuel applications in the global commercial aviation depend on economic feasibility of fuel technologies. Since most of alternative fuel options are at the experimental stage, definitive conclusions are difficult; however positive trends are indicated for this currently nascent market.
