Australian Aviation and Aerospace – Why us

• Innovative milestones: - 1958 Black box flight recorder invented Dr David Warren in Melbourne.

- 1960-2010 Jindalee Operational (Over Horizon) Radar Network.

Monitors air and sea movements and now has an operational range of

3,000 km and covers 37,000 km2

- 1965 Inflatable escape slide. The inflatable aircraft escape slide which

doubles as a raft was invented by Jack Grant - Qantas.

- 2002 Scramjet - University of QLD - HyShot team (and international

partners) conducted the first ever successful test flight of a scramjet.

- 2008 Nulka. Australian designed and developed active missile decoy built

in Australian and American collaboration.

Australian Aviation and Aerospace – Why us

• Major Aerospace and Defence OEMs/Primes are here not just to service

the market.

• For example Boeing, Thales, BAE Systems have key operations in

Australia. They are here because Australia has leading technologies &

research (merit based not offset), strong Government support in the

sector and we are adding value to their production line.

• Boeing Aerostructures Australia is The Boeing Company's largest

manufacturing footprint outside North America and produces flight

control surfaces for large commercial aircraft. This success is a result of

the company's development of innovative solutions:

• Manufacturing composite aircraft components;

• R&D, design and testing; and

• fabrication and assembly activities.

Australia’s Advanced Manufacturing Sector

• Australia has a long history in Advanced Manufacturing.

• We manufacture cars (since 1948), ships and medical

devices, and equipment and parts for the rail, aerospace,

mining and oil & gas sectors.

• Because of our isolation and small population, we had to

manufacture and be good at it (advanced manufacturing).

• Australia is a leader in productively manufacturing high

value, low run, innovative solutions, improving overall

methods of production to a high quality and standard.

Austrade – Australia’s Aerospace Sector

• Austrade’s focus in aerospace is to:

– assist the continued viability of the Australian

aerospace industry by identifying pathways and

opportunities to enter the GVCs of major Aerospace

OEMs and Primes;

– to facilitate defence suppliers to identify additional civil

aviation applications and opportunities driven by the

emerging middle class in Asia and an increase in

passenger travel.

Australia – means opportunities

Globalisation of the Aerospace

Sector

The current wave of globalisation will see

greater collaboration between nations.

The aerospace industry has become

increasingly globalised over recent

years

Globalisation will also have an impact on the

commercial sector.

Continued demand for more fuel-efficient

aircraft is expected to drive product innovation

in aircraft manufacturing.

With proven capabilities, experience and expertise, Australia

is an ideal partner to help international companies meet

these challenges
