Frameworks for efficient aerospace operations

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to explore how the emerging cold spray technology could be integrated within a framework that finally could lead to more efficient aerospace operations.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper builds research question and hypotheses and answers them using support from authorities, evidence or logic.

Findings

The emerging cold spray process should not be viewed in isolation, but viewed as a component of a broad framework that should include materials, technologies, market, infrastructure and strategies.

Originality/value

This paper highlights that, for more efficient cold spray aerospace applications, there is a need for an interdisciplinary approach that crosses traditional disciplines, schools of thought and professions.
