An Overview of Aerospace Industry

Aerospace Industry Primer

Aerospace is the industry of things that fly, including aeronautics (the realm of flying within the Earth’s atmosphere) and astronautics (the realm of flying in space - altitudes higher than 100km). This is a broad landscape, spanning different types of airborne devices (including planes, satellites, and drones) and two distinct end-customer segments: the civil sector (like commercial airlines) and the military sector. The players and dynamics differ.

‍

This primer will cover the ins and outs of Aerospace, including the types of aircraft, the players who manufacture them, the key steps in the value chain, and the major trends to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a primer?

Think of a primer as your quick-start guide to understanding the landscape of an industry (such as Investment Banking, Renewable Energy, Retail, etc.).

‍

Industry information is readily available but Googling can lead you down a rabbit hole of scattered, inconsistent and text-heavy resources - leaving a fragmented picture of the industry. And this content can miss the mark: they’re either too long and full of extraneous details, making it tough for beginners to find what they need, or too short, leaving out critical detail.

‍
