Knowledge management in the aerospace industry
IPCC 2005. Proceedings. International Professional Communication Conference, 2005., 2005Knowledge management is purported to be one of the key differentiators in developing, sustaining, and improving technology-dependent businesses in the 21st century. However some of knowledge management's key tenets (flexible organisational structure and authorities, accessible information and data, and informal learning teams and methods), could be ...

Downsizing in the aerospace industry
Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1999Downsizing in the aerospace industry is due to the cyclical nature of its business segments – defense and commercial. Erratic defense spending and fluctuations in commercial demand for aerospace products are the primary causes of this cyclical behavior. All employee groups are affected by aerospace downsizing initiatives, but the extent that each group

Terahertz applications in the aerospace industry
2013Aerospace applications for terahertz (THz) imaging will be examined in this chapter. The outer skin of the aircraft consists of thin (~ millimeter) sheets of fiber composites that are bonded to honeycombed composites for structural support. During the manufacturing process, quality-assurance inspections could be performed on these thin sheets using a ...
