Today’s commercial airplane business is characterized by huge global demand and consequent aircraft backorders that stretch over several years. In some cases these long delays in delivery can inhibit the best marketing strategies.
Rather than increase factory capacity and take on the associated capital and tax burdens, manufacturers desire shorter, fewer process steps, more efficient rapid inspection technology, and leaner process controls and corrections. These kinds of cycle time improvements cannot be wrung from existing technologies; their success must rely on new and advanced materials and processes. MNT shows great promise for significantly increasing the production rate desired by manufacturers.
