Aerospace Program Office Customers

Vehicle “Users” Commercial Operators Government (DOD, FAA, NASA)

OEMs Airframe Manufacturers Power Plant Manufacturers

Industry Suppliers

State of Aerospace Industry

Management focused upon business aspects as opposed to technical issues

Reduced technical capabilities of airline operators with greater reliance on manufacturers

Fewer new aircraft programs under evaluation or development (sonic cruiser, very large aircraft, joint strike fighter)

Reduction in government supported research and development

Continued consolidation

Loss of skilled labor to other industries

Initial Aerospace Program Office Approach (1996)

Focus on commercial air transport community which offers the greatest potential for SAE

Establish programs related to key technical issues

Ensure APO programs provide benefit to military and space technical sectors as well

Partner with key aerospace organizations to raise awareness and image of SAE

First Aerospace Plan

Approved by APO in 1996 Focused on the development of

products/services to address key technical issues Deicing/anti-icing Paint/depaint Man-machine Reliability Fasteners

Plan completed in 2000

Aerospace Program OfficeKey Measures

Primary measure of SAE’s success in aerospace is membership in SAE from aerospace community

Success of individual projects Growth in SAE image Increase in partnering Integrated operating board/committee

Recent SAE Aerospace Accomplishments

Creation of Aerospace Congress & Exhibition, a consolidation of 5 aerospace conferences, and partnership with Aerospace North America

Conducted “Aerospace Day” at SAE Headquarters to educate staff

Established International Aerospace Quality Group in cooperation with European and Asian to standardize quality systems (AS9100 and EN9100)

Administration of DOD Maintenance Conference

SAE Aerospace Ongoing Activities

Ongoing dialogue with European aerospace standards organization (AECMA) to create a process for joint standards development

Discussions underway to consolidate US aerospace standards activities (AIA)

Discussions with ATA and FSF to consolidate aviation safety conferences into one event in North America

The Future

• Revise administrative approaches as a result of recent Board directions

• Provide guidance to the Board on segment functions

• Expand APO representation

• Develop increased communication support

• Recommend revision to existing aerospace logos

• Identification of issues that SAE should address in next 1-3 years (with measures of success that are meaningful to the industry customer)

• Relationships with other associations (Flight Safety Foundation and Aerospace North America)

• Growth of APO (back to basics)

Develop a better focus of SAE to aerospace and major enhancements to our strategies.

Aerospace Program Office Future Strategies
