DISCUSSION: Engine & Airframe Production Rates

PANEL

Following on from forecast data, how are engine OEMs effectively ramping up their supply chains, to keep pace with production targets from Boeing and Airbus?

Sharing & Connectivity

Across the aftermarket, how can industry enable efficient data connectivity and sharing to benefit all parties?

Engine Stand Management with Distributed Ledger Technology

Engine stands, as well as container modules and other engine transportation equipment are valuable assets.
