The aerospace industry is a highly competitive market where advanced materials and processes can enable higher performing products at an affordable cost. Time and investment required for developing, maturing and inserting advanced materials and processes can be substantial, resulting in limited opportunities to exploit potential new material advantages.

Presentation covers:

• Shortening development time and reducing costs through collaborations
• Examples of collaborations in both a pre- and post-competitive environments
• Results for increased development and successful implementation of advanced materials and processes
• Future opportunities for continued development
