Radical new aircraft and engine designs, fundamental shifts in manufacturing and operations, breakthrough innovations, reimagined supply chains, and new business models will all play a vital role in the transformation of aerospace from its current state to a new future state. As the lifecycle of aircraft is about a 30-year range, success in 2050 means making future decisions and start investment now. With this transformation already in motion, in this panel we will discuss how aerospace companies should be setting strategies and investments. What are the implications to their current operations, R&D, supply chains, workforce plans and M&A strategies? Traditional aerospace companies, start-ups and other early movers know the challenges are significant. However, they too must understand the opportunities and benefits disruption presents. They key question to answer is are you ready for the wide-reaching and transformational change?
